Summary

SB2033 creates the "Predatory Solicitation Prevention Act" and adds a new section to Title 15 of the Oklahoma Statutes. The bill defines "predatory solicitation" as persistent, repeated communications aimed at soliciting a purchase, sale, or investment in real property when the communications are intended to influence, harass, intimidate, aggravate, badger, or otherwise disregard the property owner’s ability to refuse. It then prohibits that conduct in Oklahoma. The bill establishes a civil penalty of $600 per instance of communication for any person or entity that engages in predatory solicitation. It also authorizes the Attorney General or a district attorney to bring actions to recover actual damages and penalties. Any amounts collected through an Attorney General action would be split evenly between the State Health Care Enhancement Fund and the Court Clerk’s Revolving Fund. The act would take effect November 1, 2026.

Impact

If enacted, SB2033 would create a new consumer- and property-owner-protection rule in Oklahoma contract and real-property related law by regulating aggressive solicitation practices tied to real estate transactions. It would add a new statutory prohibition in Title 15, expose violators to per-communication monetary penalties, and give state and local prosecutors enforcement authority. The bill also directs penalty revenue into two existing state funds, affecting both the State Health Care Enhancement Fund and the Court Clerk’s Revolving Fund.

Sentiment

Based on the available context, the bill appears to have been treated as a serious regulatory measure rather than a controversial partisan proposal. There are no committee transcripts or recorded votes provided, so there is no direct evidence of support or opposition in debate. Its referral from second reading to the Judiciary Committee and then to Appropriations suggests it was moving through the normal legislative review process.

Contention

The main potential point of contention is the scope of the new prohibition: the bill targets repeated solicitation tied to real property, but the definition uses broad terms such as influence, harass, intimidate, aggravate, and badger, which could raise concerns about vagueness or overbreadth. Another possible issue is enforcement and penalties, since the bill allows government attorneys to sue and imposes a $600 penalty per communication, which could be viewed as substantial for repeated outreach. The revenue split to the State Health Care Enhancement Fund and Court Clerk’s Revolving Fund is also a notable policy choice, though no specific objections are documented in the provided materials.
