This bill amends Section 1105 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes, focusing on the procedures for release on bail. It modifies existing conditions related to bail, including the requirement for defendants to appear before a court and comply with conditions set by the court. The bill introduces new provisions for advance waivers of extradition, stating that when a defendant is admitted to bail, they agree to waive their right to contest extradition if they fail to appear and are apprehended in another jurisdiction. The court is required to provide written notice of this waiver to the defendant, who must acknowledge receipt and understanding of the notice.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the waiver of extradition includes the waiver of the issuance and service of a warrant of the Governor and the right to seek habeas corpus relief. The acknowledgment of the waiver will be filed with the bond and become part of the court record. The provisions are designed to align with the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act and ensure that defendants can still contest mistaken identity. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
