AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to establish a Drug Court Fund for each drug court program in Oklahoma. The fund will be used to operate the drug court and will be non-fiscal, meaning the funds do not revert back to the state at the end of the fiscal year. The bill also extends judicial immunity to judges for duties required by law to be performed in a drug court. Additionally, the bill requires the Administrative Office of the Courts to provide oversight of drug court programs and clarifies language around the drug court process, including eligibility, fees, and driving privileges. The bill has an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon the governor's approval.
