This bill amends Section 1141.16 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to bail procedures. The key change prohibits courts from accepting bail payments from charitable bail organizations if there is reason to believe that such organizations are covering the bail costs for defendants. This amendment aims to ensure that bail is paid directly by the defendants or their sureties, rather than through charitable entities.

The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026, providing a clear timeline for the implementation of this new regulation regarding bail payments in Oklahoma.
