OKLAHOMA CITY — A slate of new laws takes effect Nov. 1, 2025, in Oklahoma, including changes to driving laws, criminal justice, public safety, and consumer protections. Of the 278 laws taking effect this week, here are some of the most notable.
Felony DUI
Senate Bill 54 expands the instances in which driving under the influence can be charged as a felony. Drivers can face felony charges if a crash occurs, a minor is in the vehicle, the driver engages in excessive speeding or reckless driving, eludes law enforcement, or has a blood alcohol level of 0.15 percent or higher.
Driver’s License Changes
House Bill 2297 creates a reciprocity agreement with Ireland, allowing Oklahomans to drive in Ireland with a proper license and vice versa.
House Bill 3671 allows drivers on the autism spectrum to voluntarily add a designation on their license noting their diagnosis, which supporters say can help law enforcement communicate more effectively. To qualify, drivers must be diagnosed by a licensed primary care physician, psychologist, or psychiatrist.
House Bill 2013, known as Dylan’s Law, allows drivers with a doctor-diagnosed epilepsy condition to add an epilepsy designation to their licenses starting June 1, 2026. The law also requires the State Commissioner of Health to provide epilepsy education to medical professionals.
Lauria and Ashley’s Law
House Bill 1001 requires anyone convicted as an accessory to first- or second-degree murder to serve at least 85 percent of their sentence before being eligible for parole or commutation. The law is named after Lauria Bible and Ashley Freeman, two Oklahoma girls who disappeared decades ago.
Serving Alcohol
House Bill 1062 allows those 18 and older to open and serve beer and wine from their original containers, or serve premixed beer, wine, or spirits prepared by an employee who is at least 21 years old.

Foraging on State Property

Food Trucks
