State agencies; creating the State-Sponsored Persecution Prohibition Act.
SB 1015 creates the "State-Sponsored Persecution Prohibition Act," prohibiting Oklahoma state agencies, boards, or commissions from regulating or investigating businesses, farms, taxpayers, or citizens in a malicious manner to harass, terrorize, intimidate, or punish them for personal, economic, political, or ideological reasons. The bill allows affected individuals or entities to file civil lawsuits against offending agencies to seek damages, equitable relief, and attorney fees. It would take effect on November 1, 2025, and is codified as Section 13001 of Title 74 in Oklahoma Statutes. The legislation directly affects state agencies and the private entities they regulate, establishing a legal remedy for alleged improper regulatory actions.
