The bill amends Section 461 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to criminal procedure and the posting of bail in different jurisdictions. It specifies that if a defendant is brought before a magistrate in a county other than where the charges are filed, the magistrate must handle the bail process as if the defendant were brought in on a warrant of arrest. Additionally, the bill introduces a provision allowing defendants who are confined in various types of jails to post bond in another jurisdiction if there is a request to hold them in custody from that jurisdiction.

The new language clarifies that upon posting the bond in the other jurisdiction, the hold request from that jurisdiction will be released. This change aims to streamline the bail process for defendants who may be facing holds from multiple jurisdictions, thereby facilitating their release under certain conditions. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
