Oklahoma SB812 amends the transportation requirements for peace officers and sheriffs in mental health cases. It allows peace officers to request an assessment at the point of initial contact by the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services instead of transporting individuals for initial assessment. It also allows for the use of mechanical restraints under specific conditions, such as when an individual physically assaults the officer or attempts to cause serious physical injury.
