Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

8 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 6 costs, 1 mixed.

DNA samples and $150 offender fee

Beginning November 1, 2025, people convicted of a felony or put on probation for registerable offenses must give a DNA sample. Some listed misdemeanors and arrested people unlawfully present must also give samples if funds are available. If you are arrested for or convicted of a felony, or convicted of certain misdemeanors, you must pay a $150 DNA fee unless a valid sample is already on file. If your sample is collected outside the Lexington Assessment and Reception Center, you must pay a $15 collection fee. Only trained staff may take samples, which must be sent to OSBI within 10 days; collectors have civil immunity.

Higher flat court costs and add-ons

Beginning November 1, 2025, courts charge flat costs by conviction, such as $77 for 1–10 mph speeding, $98 for other misdemeanor traffic, $93 for other misdemeanors, $103 for other felonies, and $433 for DUI (misdemeanor or felony). Extra add‑on assessments also apply: $6 for the Law Library, $25 for the court information system, $10 for courthouse security, $3 for victim services, $3 for child abuse accounts, and a District Attorneys fee of $20 (traffic non‑DUI), $30 (misdemeanor), or $50 (felony). DUI cases also add $15 to the impaired driver database and direct $100 of the $433 to trauma care. A $10 CLEET fee applies to most convictions or bond forfeitures (not parking or standing). Misdemeanor marijuana or paraphernalia cases add $5.

New monthly fees during supervision

Beginning November 1, 2025, if you are on deferred judgment, you must pay $40 per month, with waivers for indigent people. If the court orders electronic home detention and finds you can pay, you may owe up to $75 per month; nonpayment can be enforced as indirect contempt. If you are on probation and not supervised by the district attorney, you must pay the DA $40 per month for the first two years, unless the DA waives it.

Victim panel providers: $1,000 each year

Beginning November 1, 2025, victims impact panel providers must register each year and pay a $1,000 fee to the District Attorneys Council. By October 1 each year, they must show proof of registration and liability insurance, submit CPA‑prepared financials and federal tax returns, and certify compliance. The fee goes to the District Attorneys Council Revolving Fund.

DUI cases: new fees and devices

Beginning November 1, 2025, courts in DUI cases can order an ignition interlock on every car you drive, at your expense. The court may also require a victims impact panel and charge $75 if it finds you can pay. You must get an alcohol and drug assessment before sentencing; the evaluator is paid and must report within 72 hours. The law caps the evaluation fee at $75 and uses an ability‑to‑pay schedule. Courts add a separate $100 assessment that goes to the Drug Abuse Education and Treatment fund.

Courts must send fees; cards allowed

Beginning November 1, 2025, court clerks must keep accurate accounts and send collected fees each month to the named state agencies. CLEET fees are split 60.53% to the CLEET Fund, 5.83% to General Revenue, and 33.64% to the CLEET Training Center; late payments owe 1% per day up to 100%, unless waived. Cities and counties with a CLEET‑approved academy may keep $2 per fee for local training (up to 7% for court and prosecution training). The law creates a CLEET Fund in the State Treasury. Clerks may accept credit cards, debit cards, or other electronic payments for court costs and fines.

Fee to apply for public defender

Beginning November 1, 2025, if you apply for an Oklahoma Indigent Defense System lawyer, you must pay a $40 nonrefundable application fee to the court clerk. The court may defer or waive the fee based on your finances. The clerk deposits the fee in the Court Clerk’s Revolving Fund and reports it quarterly. The court may later attach this fee as a court cost upon conviction.

New $150 lab fee on cases

Beginning November 1, 2025, if lab or forensic work is used in your misdemeanor or felony case, you must pay a $150 laboratory analysis fee for each offense. The court clerk sends these fees to the proper agency each month. OSBI may use lab fee deposits for lab services, equipment, staff training, and safe destruction of seized property and chemicals.
