This bill establishes new provisions regarding phone call charges in detention facilities in Oklahoma. It prohibits the Office of Juvenile Affairs from charging any fees for phone calls made from juvenile detention facilities, which will be codified as Section 2-3-106 of Title 10A. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Corrections also cannot charge fees for phone calls made from its facilities, to be codified as Section 569.1 of Title 57.

The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2026. By eliminating these charges, the bill aims to ensure that individuals in detention facilities can maintain communication without financial barriers.
