Bill Summary
An Act relating to bail; amending 22 O.S. 2021, Section 1105, as amended by Section 1, Chapter 172, O.S.L. 2025 (22 O.S. Supp. 2025, Section 1105), which relates to defendant discharged on giving bail; authorizing certain court to order ignition interlock device for certain defendants; requiring written findings for certain decisions; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Oklahoma law regarding bail and conditions of release for defendants. Specifically, it adds a provision allowing courts, at their discretion, to require defendants arrested for a second or subsequent violation of driving under the influence laws (Section 11-902 of Title 47) to use an ignition interlock device as a condition of their bail. An ignition interlock device is a breathalyzer connected to a vehicle's ignition that prevents the car from starting if the driver's blood alcohol content is too high. If the court decides not to require this device, it must provide written findings explaining the reasoning behind that decision. The bill also includes an effective date of November 1, 2026.
