AI Summary
This bill makes several amendments to various Oklahoma statutes related to criminal procedure, fees, and court costs. The bill removes several specific fees and revolving fund deposits across multiple sections of law, including deleting fees associated with drug-related offenses, DNA testing, and court-appointed counsel applications. The bill modifies language around court sentencing powers, allowing courts more discretion in waiving prosecution costs and providing slight modifications to how certain fees and assessments are handled. For instance, in cases of deferred sentences, any unpaid costs of prosecution will be automatically waived if the sentence expires without being revoked. The bill also updates some terminology, such as changing capitalization of terms like "deoxyribonucleic" and making minor grammatical adjustments. A key provision requires courts to conduct an assessment for batterers in cases of domestic abuse-related offenses. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2025, and affects multiple sections of Oklahoma statutes related to criminal procedure, including Title 20, 22, 28, and 47.
