AI Summary

This bill requires the Department of Corrections and the Administrator of the Courts to provide specific data to the Legislative Office of Fiscal Transparency (LOFT) by July 31st each year, with the Administrator of the Courts also needing to provide data within thirty days of receiving it from the Department of Corrections. This data pertains to offenders convicted of crimes modified by State Question 780, which reclassified certain felonies as misdemeanors and adjusted dollar thresholds for crimes. The LOFT will then use this information to calculate the annual savings and costs avoided by the state due to the Oklahoma Smart Justice Reform Act, which aims to reduce incarceration rates and lengths. This calculation will be based on actual data or the best available estimates and will be considered final. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
