Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Preset bail barred for certain offenses

Beginning January 1, 2027, Oklahoma judicial districts cannot include specified wildlife and water safety offenses in preset bail schedules. These are the offenses covered by Title 22, Section 1115.3, subsections B, C, and D. The existing exclusion for qualifying traffic offenses remains. This limits preset bail schedules; it does not itself ban release or set a higher bail amount.

Required risk reports for violent-crime defendants

Beginning January 1, 2027, Oklahoma courts must use public safety reports in release decisions for defendants charged with legally defined violent crimes. These reports assess the risk of missing court or committing a new crime before trial. Courts may use them in other release decisions, too. A report cannot be the only reason to grant or deny release. Defense lawyers and state lawyers must receive the results upon request.
