OK SB1666

Peace officers employed by Oklahoma or its political subdivisions are personally liable for depriving individuals of rights secured by the U.S. Bill of Rights or Oklahoma Constitution Article II, including liability for failing to intervene

Qualified immunity cannot be asserted as a defense, and statutory immunities, liability limitations, and the Governmental Tort Claims Act do not apply to these claims

Prevailing plaintiffs receive reasonable attorney fees and costs; defendants may recover fees only if the court finds the claims frivolous

Employers must indemnify peace officers for judgments and settlements, except officers who did not act in good faith must personally pay 5% of the judgment or $25,000 (whichever is less)

Officers convicted of a criminal offense arising from the conduct at issue receive no indemnification for judgments or legal expenses; effective date November 1, 2026
