HB1217

Oklahoma HB1217 makes it unlawful to perform obscene material in public or allow minors to view such performances.

Oklahoma HB1217 codifies a new law that prohibits engaging in adult performances containing obscene material in public places where minors may be present. It defines "adult performance" as any performance with obscene material, "obscene material" as defined in existing statutes, and "minor" as anyone under eighteen years old. The law also makes it illegal for political subdivisions to allow, permit, organize, or authorize such performances in public areas. Violators face misdemeanor charges, with penalties including up to one year in jail and fines ranging from $500 to $1,000.
