Bill Summary
An Act relating to pardons and paroles; amending 57 O.S. 2021, Section 332.2, as amended by Section 1, Chapter 198, O.S.L. 2022 (57 O.S.

AI Summary
This bill modifies existing Oklahoma law concerning pardons and paroles to allow for electronic notification to victims and their representatives. Specifically, it amends Section 332.2 of Title 57 of the Oklahoma Statutes to permit the Pardon and Parole Board to send required notices, such as decisions on commutation or parole, via email in addition to traditional mail. This change aims to modernize communication methods and ensure victims are informed about proceedings related to offenders who have harmed them, with the understanding that victims are responsible for providing their current email addresses to the Board.
