Municipalities; clarifying that penalties for certain municipal ordinances may be equal to penalties in state statute. Emergency.

Summary

SB 1775 amends Oklahoma's municipal enforcement statute so that city governing bodies can impose fines, fees, imprisonment, or community labor that are equal to or less than the penalties set by state law for the same offenses. It establishes specific maximum fines for categories such as general violations, alcohol or drug‑related traffic offenses, prostitution, and non‑statutory speeding or parking, and directs portions of alcohol‑related fines to municipal and state enforcement funds. The bill also creates a labor option for non‑paying violators, requiring work at a minimum rate of $50 per day.
