SB967 modifies Oklahoma's criminal procedure by requiring pretrial release hearings and updating bail procedures.
SB967 amends Oklahoma's criminal procedure laws by requiring a pretrial release hearing to determine conditions for a defendant's release. The bill mandates that a bail modification hearing be scheduled if there is a change in material circumstances or if the court initiates it within 48 hours of a monetary bond being imposed. It also modifies bail procedures by setting a numerical dollar amount for pretrial pre-appearance bail and requiring courts to consider specific factors when determining release conditions.
