Updates Oklahoma’s criminal code to strengthen penalties for various violent offenses, including domestic violence involving a pregnant woman. The bill increases the penalty when the offender knows the person is pregnant. A second offense becomes a felony with a minimum ten-year sentence. If the abuse causes harm to the fetus or a miscarriage, the offender must serve at least twenty years.
