AI Summary
This bill, effective November 1, 2026, significantly alters court fines and fees in Oklahoma by eliminating or waiving certain financial obligations for defendants. It removes the assessment of "Laboratory Analysis Fees," "DNA fees," "fingerprinting fees," and "Forensic Science Improvement Assessments," making any unpaid balances of these fees unenforceable and vacating related judgments. Additionally, the bill eliminates "supervision fees" charged by district attorneys, also rendering unpaid balances uncollectible and vacating associated judgments. It also makes certain presumptions of a defendant's inability to pay court financial obligations unrebuttable if they have received specific benefits for a certain period, requiring courts to waive those obligations, and provides guidelines for rebutting this presumption or reducing obligations in other circumstances. The bill also repeals specific sections related to fingerprinting and forensic science fees.
