Crimes and punishment; creating felony offense. Effective date.

SB 502 defines "cannibalism" as willingly ingesting human flesh, blood, or tissue and makes it a felony offense. The bill directly affects individuals who commit this act, imposing a maximum penalty of 14 years in prison upon conviction. Key provisions include creating a new criminal offense under Oklahoma law (to be codified in Title 21, Section 761) and establishing a specific penalty structure. The law will take effect on November 1, 2025. This is a direct policy change criminalizing a specific act with defined consequences.
