Oklahoma HB3321 revises criminal procedure by altering financial obligations for defendants, modifying cost hearing processes, and updating.

Oklahoma HB3321 amends criminal procedure laws to change how defendants handle financial obligations. It allows courts to determine payment terms, including full payment or installments, based on the defendant's ability to pay. The bill eliminates the court cost compliance program and mandates that defendants report to the court clerk within ten days of sentencing to provide contact information and select payment terms or request a cost hearing. Failure to report results in the full amount of obligations being due.
