HB 4108 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Airports; trespassing on property containing critical infrastructure; expanding scope of crime to include airports; effective date.

HB 4108 amends Oklahoma law to explicitly include airport operational areas - such as runways, taxiways, maintenance zones, and fuel storage areas - under the definition of "critical infrastructure facility." This means unauthorized entry or damage to these areas will now be treated as criminal offenses, subject to fines (up to $100,000) or imprisonment (up to 10 years), similar to protections for power plants or water facilities. The bill does not fund new infrastructure but expands legal safeguards for airport safety and operations. It directly affects airport operators, security personnel, and anyone entering airport grounds without authorization. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.
