This bill amends Section 13.1 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which outlines the minimum prison sentences for certain serious crimes. The amendment adds two new offenses to the list of crimes for which individuals must serve at least eighty-five percent of their sentence before becoming eligible for parole. The new offenses include "Domestic abuse by strangulation" and "Discharging a firearm at or into a dwelling or building used for public or business purposes."

The bill emphasizes that individuals convicted of these specified crimes will not be eligible for earned credits or any other type of credits that could reduce their sentence below the mandated eighty-five percent threshold. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2026.
