Crimes and punishments; creating the Oklahoma Crimes and Punishments Act of 2025; effective date.

HB 2396 is a procedural bill that creates a new name for Oklahoma's criminal code without changing any laws. It establishes "Oklahoma Crimes and Punishments Act of 2025" as the official citation for existing criminal statutes and sets an effective date of November 1, 2025. The bill does not alter any criminal penalties, procedures, or legal definitions - it only provides a new title and reference for the current code. This change affects how the law is cited but does not impact how crimes are prosecuted or punished.
