Chapter 201, O.S.L. 2023, and as renumbered by
Section 6, Chapter 201, O.S.L. 2023 (43A O.S. Supp.
2025, Section 2-312.2), which relates to savings and
averted costs of the Oklahoma Smart Justice Reform
Act; requiring the Department of Corrections to
provide certain data to the Legislative Office of
Fiscal Transparency; requiring the Administrator of
the Courts to provide certain data to the Legislative
Office of Fiscal Transparency; clarifying the type of
crimes to be included in the data; requiring

providing an effective date.

SUBJECT: State Question 780 data

BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA:

SECTION 1. AMENDATORY 57 O.S. 2021, Section 632, as
amended by Section 2, Chapter 201, O.S.L. 2023, and as renumbered by
Section 6, Chapter 201, O.S.L. 2023 (43A O.S. Supp. 2025, Section 2-
312.2), is amended to read as follows:

Section 2-312.2. No later than July 31 of each year, the
Department of Corrections shall provide the Legislative Office of
Fiscal Transparency with data for the prior fiscal year ending June
30, reflecting the number of unique offenders and days served by
each offender, upon completion of the corresponding sentence, for
those convicted only of crimes modified by State Question 780. No
ENR. H. B. NO. 4408 Page 2
later than July 31 of each year, the Administrator of the Courts
shall provide the Legislative Office of Fiscal Transparency with
data necessary to calculate the annual savings and averted costs,
including the number of persons convicted only of crimes modified by
State Question 780 and the number of days sentenced for such crimes.
For purposes of this section, crimes modified by State Question 780
shall include only those crimes that were previously felonies that
are now misdemeanors and crimes that fall between the former dollar
threshold and current dollar threshold for crimes whose severity is
determined by a dollar threshold. No later than thirty (30) days
after being provided with the data from both the Department of
Corrections and the Administrator of the Courts, the Legislative
Office of Fiscal Transparency shall calculate the annual savings and
averted costs from the prior fiscal year that accrued to the state
due to the reduction of the number and length of incarcerations
attributed to the implementation of the Oklahoma Smart Justice
Reform Act. In making the calculation required by this section, the
Legislative Office of Fiscal Transparency shall use actual data or
best available estimates where actual data is not available. The
calculation shall be final and shall not be adjusted for any
subsequent changes in the underlying data.

SECTION 2. This act shall become effective November 1, 2026.
