Bill > HB2188

This bill modifies the drug court approval process in Oklahoma. It allows the court to review an offender's request to participate in a drug court program, even if the district attorney objects. The bill gives the court the discretion to approve the offender's request for the program, despite the district attorney's objection. If the court approves the request, the offender will be referred for a drug court investigation and a hearing will be set to determine final eligibility. The bill also specifies that the effective date of these changes is November 1, 2017.
