Classification of felony offenses; creating the Oklahoma Sentencing Modernization Act of 2024; classifications; punishment provisions; time-served requirements; effective date.

This bill establishes a new classification system for felony offenses in Oklahoma, creating specific categories ranging from Class Y to Class D3 based on the severity of the crime. It designates Class Y exclusively for first-degree murder and assigns other violent and nonviolent felonies to the remaining classes, such as Class A1 for serious crimes like domestic abuse against pregnant women and sexual abuse of young children. The legislation requires courts to apply these new classifications to all felony offenses by a specified effective date, replacing the previous structure with a more granular list of crimes for each class.
