Oklahoma HB2934 prohibits civil liability for certain persons under specified circumstances, except for willful, wanton, or malicious acts.

Oklahoma HB2934 defines terms such as "bodily injury," "criminal act of another," and "property damage." It prohibits civil liability for simple negligence in cases where a criminal act of another causes bodily injury or property damage. This immunity applies regardless of whether the person who committed the criminal act is apprehended, prosecuted, or convicted. However, it does not provide immunity for willful, wanton, or malicious acts of negligence or for gross negligence. The act declares an emergency and states it shall take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
