Bill > HB2186

This bill establishes the Pretrial Data Collection Act, which requires municipal police departments, county sheriff offices, county jails, and detention facilities to collect and report comprehensive data about arrested individuals and confined persons to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation starting January 1, 2026. The data collection mandates include detailed demographic information (such as race, age, gender, and ZIP code), arrest and detention details, medical and health information (including mental health and substance use disorders), criminal charges, sentencing information, and facility-level statistics like operational capacity and average daily population. Agencies will be phased into reporting based on their size, with larger agencies (500+ employees) required to submit data by July 1, 2026, and smaller agencies given until July 1, 2028. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation must publish these datasets in a machine-readable, publicly accessible format that is searchable by various elements. The bill allows county commissioners to take legal action against entities that fail to comply with the data collection and reporting requirements. The act will become effective on November 1, 2025, and aims to provide transparent and comprehensive data about pretrial detention and criminal justice interactions.
