Bill > SB137

This bill modifies the Department of Corrections' Electronic Monitoring Program by changing the eligibility criteria for inmates to participate. Specifically, it updates the language to refer to "crime" instead of "offense" and adds a new category of inmates ineligible for the program: those convicted pursuant to a specific section of Oklahoma law related to driving under the influence. The bill also clarifies that losing eligibility for the program will result in removal from it and specifies that inmates assigned to the program cannot waive parole consideration. Additionally, it includes provisions for inmates to potentially pay for monitoring equipment, treatment, and supervision costs, and mandates that inmates report to the court clerk and district attorney to address any outstanding fines, costs, restitution, or assessments within thirty days of being placed in a community setting. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2026.
