Bill overview
This bill amends Oklahoma law to allow certain offenders who have been convicted of crimes to apply for a commutation of their sentence once every two years. The Pardon and Parole Board will examine these applications, considering factors like the original penalty’s severity and any subsequent changes in the law. The Board must provide a copy of the application to the district attorney, victim, and Attorney General within ten business days, and offer the victim or their representative an opportunity to provide recommendations or protests. The bill also establishes a streamlined process for nonviolent offenders convicted of crimes reclassified as misdemeanors.
