Bill Summary

An Act relating to prison and reformatories; amending 57 O.S. 2021, Section 37, as amended by Section 9, Chapter 187, O.S.L. 2025 (57 O.S. Supp. 2025, Section 37), which relates to the capacity of correctional facilities; providing for mandatory inmate transfers and receptions within certain period of time; and providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill mandates that the Department of Corrections (DOC) must schedule the transfer and reception of inmates from county jails within a specific timeframe, no less than five business days after the DOC receives the judgment and sentence document from the county sheriff or jail trust administrator, which is the official responsible for county jails. This change aims to streamline the process of moving inmates from local jails to state correctional facilities, particularly when county jails reach capacity. The bill also clarifies that the DOC will be responsible for the cost of housing inmates in county jails, including medical care, from the time the court orders the judgment and sentence until the inmate is transferred to a state facility, provided certain conditions regarding pending charges are met. The bill is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
