Governmental Tort Claims Act; requiring adoption of law enforcement pursuit policies; prohibiting liability for certain actions. Effective date.

SB 1803 requires Oklahoma law enforcement agencies to adopt written pursuit policies and obtain "pursuit-ready" certification from the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training. It mandates specific training on pursuit decision-making, risk assessment, and termination procedures, with the Council setting minimum training hours. The bill creates a legal presumption that fleeing suspects cause injuries during pursuits, shielding officers from liability unless intentional misconduct is proven by clear evidence. This applies directly to law enforcement agencies and officers conducting lawful pursuits, effective November 1, 2026.
