  • Amends Oklahoma's rape statute (Section 1111) and lewd acts statute (Section 1123) to explicitly include employed and contracted school resource officers and security guards within the definition of "employee of a school system"

  • Closes a legal loophole by ensuring school resource officers and security guards can be prosecuted for rape or sexual battery when they engage in sexual conduct with students ages 16-19 who are under the supervision of their school

  • Maintains existing protections for students ages 16-19 against sexual misconduct by school employees who are 18 or older, including teachers, principals, and contractors

  • Declared an emergency measure, taking effect immediately upon passage and approval rather than waiting for the standard effective date
