HB 3374 strengthens legal protections for firefighters and emergency medical responders in Oklahoma by increasing penalties for harming them during official duties. It makes interfering with, molesting, or assaulting these responders a Class B4 felony (2-10 years imprisonment), and aggravating assault causing serious injury a life felony. The bill also designates killing a responder on duty as first-degree murder with an automatic aggravating circumstance for sentencing. This directly affects responders who face threats while working and individuals who commit violent acts against them.
