HB 1316 creates the Prosecuting Attorneys Oversight Commission to oversee and discipline district attorneys in Oklahoma. The Commission has two panels: a five-member investigative panel (handling investigations and administrative duties) and a three-member hearing panel (adjudicating cases and issuing disciplinary orders). It directly affects elected or appointed district attorneys by establishing procedures for investigations, disciplinary actions, and removal, with membership requiring specific qualifications like 10 years as an active Oklahoma Bar member for attorney roles. The bill specifies appointment processes by state officials and limits members to two full terms.
