| - Oklahoma House Bill 1674 (also known as HB1674) is a passed 2021 legislative bill in the U.S. state of Oklahoma that made illegal obstruction of roads a misdemeanor, granted civil and criminal immunity to motorists who unintentionally harm someone while fleeing a riot, and fined organizations that conspire with someone who committed a riot-related crime. HB1674 was introduced in response to a Black Lives Matter protest in Tulsa in May 2020 where a pickup truck drove through protestors on I-244, seriously injuring three. The bill was first read in February 2021, passing the Oklahoma House of Representatives in March and the Oklahoma Senate in April. Governor Kevin Stitt signed the bill into law in April. Co-sponsors of HB1674 assert that the bill would provide protections for people fleeing from riots, while detractors claim that the bill curtails First Amendment rights, particularly freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. The Oklahoma State Conference of the NAACP filed a complaint on August 30, 2021, then in September and October 2021, sought an injunction against the enactment of the law, which was due to go into effect on November 1, 2021. On October 27, 2021, U.S. federal district judge Robin J. Cauthron granted a temporary injunction. In March 2022, an answering brief was filed in NAACP v. O'Connor in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, where it is still under review. (en)
