SB 571, the "Ethan Haim Act," creates penalties for federal agents or entities engaging in actions that infringe constitutional rights in Oklahoma. It prohibits activities like unlawful searches, firearm restrictions without constitutional basis, or retaliation against whistleblowers reporting federal overreach. Violating agents face daily fines ($35,000), deportation for one year, and civil liability; entities face $500,000 daily fines, forced removal, and a one-year operational ban. Oklahoma residents harmed can sue for damages, and the Attorney General or local prosecutors can enforce these provisions.
