This bill amends Section 332.4 of Title 57 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the selection and compensation of members of the Pardon and Parole Board. The legislation removes the separate compensation structure for the Chair of the Board, which previously received $24,800 annually, and instead increases the compensation for all Board members to $85,000 per year, payable monthly. The previous compensation structure for Board members, which was $22,800 annually, has been deleted.

Additionally, the bill outlines the consequences for Board members who fail to attend meetings, specifying that missing one meeting without a justifiable excuse will result in the loss of monthly compensation. If a member misses two or more meetings without extraordinary circumstances, it will be considered official misconduct, potentially leading to removal from office. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
