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. Specifically, if a parolee is believed to have violated the terms of their parole, the supervising parole officer must notify the Department of Corrections, which can then issue a warrant for the parolee's arrest. Upon arrest, the parolee will be incarcerated while awaiting a decision on revocation from either the Governor or the Pardon and Parole Board. The bill also clarifies that parole time will cease to accrue during this period of incarceration.

Additionally, the bill provides an option for parolees who have violated their parole terms to be placed in an intermediate sanctions facility for disciplinary action and programmatic services instead of facing revocation, if deemed appropriate by the Department of Corrections. This option can be exercised at the discretion of the Department or the Governor, allowing for a more rehabilitative approach to minor violations. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
