The bill amends Section 516 of Title 57 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the revocation of parole. It authorizes both the Governor and the Pardon and Parole Board to revoke parole under certain circumstances, providing them with the authority to file a certificate of revocation with the Secretary of State. The bill clarifies that once a warrant for arrest is issued by the Department of Corrections, the parolee will be incarcerated and will not accrue earned credits during this time. Additionally, it allows for the possibility of placing a parolee in an intermediate sanctions facility for disciplinary action instead of revocation, depending on the nature of the violation.

The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2025. The changes aim to streamline the process of parole revocation and provide more options for managing parole violations, thereby enhancing the oversight and flexibility of the parole system in Oklahoma.
