SB1450

Oklahoma SB1450 allows courts to waive certain criminal court costs and fees for individuals who meet specific payment and compliance requirements.

Oklahoma SB1450 amends existing law to allow courts to waive criminal court costs and fees for individuals who have made timely payments on fines, fees, and restitution for a specified period. The bill specifies that a person must have made installment payments on outstanding fines, court costs, fees, and restitution on a timely basis for forty-eight months in the previous sixty-month period to be eligible for a waiver. The court must also consider the person's ability to pay, excluding income from need-based assistance programs.
