Bill No. 2422 introduces new provisions regarding the parole eligibility of sex offenders in Oklahoma, specifically those convicted of crimes involving physical touch against minors under the age of thirteen. The bill establishes that a sex offender may be eligible for parole if they undergo a mental health evaluation and, if deemed necessary, voluntarily choose to receive hormonal treatment. This treatment must be administered by a licensed physician both prior to and during imprisonment. If the offender fails to continue the treatment or commits subsequent offenses, they will lose their parole eligibility and face imprisonment. Additionally, the bill mandates that sex offenders who commit further offenses will be sentenced to life without parole and subjected to lab or blood testing at irregular intervals.

The bill also amends existing laws related to the Pardon and Parole Board's authority, allowing for the parole of prisoners convicted of sex offenses under certain conditions. It specifies that if a prisoner has been convicted of such crimes, they may be paroled in accordance with the new provisions outlined in the bill. Furthermore, the bill clarifies the definitions of terms such as "aging prisoner" and "evidence-based," and it establishes immunity for physicians and mental health professionals who comply with the new treatment requirements. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
