Clearer emergency protection for abuse victims

For domestic abuse victims requesting protection while Oklahoma courts are closed, approved emergency orders last until the scheduled hearing. The judge must tell the requesting officer the hearing date, time, and courtroom. The officer must give both the victim and the person named in the order copies and return the original to court. Officers must try to deliver the legal papers; if unsuccessful, they must file the petition by the next business day. The clerk must file it even without completed delivery, record hearing details, and send it to the sheriff for priority delivery.

Oklahoma ends stalking warning letter rule

The law removes Oklahoma's statutory rule for stalking warning letters. The supplied text does not describe a replacement process.
