Summary:
The Judicial Criminal Committee met for its first meeting of the session, with the chair noting the committee had roughly 55 bills assigned and urging members to review them in advance to move hearings along efficiently. A new committee member, Representative Clinton, was welcomed, and Vice Chair Harris later introduced a legislative intern, Allie Burwell, who will be working in his office during the session.
Several bills were heard and advanced. HB 2937 would allow otherwise qualified individuals to carry firearms on boats, as a cleanup measure related to constitutional carry; it received a due pass. HB 3419 would extend the felony offense for corruptly disclosing private bid information from state officials to officials of counties and cities, and it also received a due pass. HB 3264 would make domestic violence by strangulation an 85% crime, and HB 3266 would increase penalties for reckless driving tied to collisions and street racing/takeovers; both were advanced. HB 3267 would make breaking and entering into an occupied dwelling a felony in itself, and members discussed how accidental entry or prosecutorial discretion would be handled; it also received a due pass.
HB 3268 addressed fake or fictitious tags, including problems involving commercial vehicles, and was described as a response to concerns from Oklahoma City police and the Corporation Commission. Members asked about drafting changes and title references, which were explained as cleanup language tied to recent reclassification and drafting procedures. The bill was then advanced with a due pass. Two other bills, HB 3495 and HB 3497, were held over, and the committee adjourned after the chair again asked members to review bills and raise concerns beforehand.
