Corrections; requiring inmates be assisted in receiving certain driver license before release; effective date.
House Bill 2364 requires the Oklahoma Department of Corrections (DOC) to assist inmates in obtaining a REAL ID Noncompliant Driver License or Identification Card before their release, prioritizing a driver's license. This initiative aims to help inmates, whose intended residence is in Oklahoma, secure post-release employment. The DOC must begin this process nine months before an inmate's release and is also tasked with providing them with essential documents like vocational records, birth certificates, Social Security cards, and resumes. Certain inmate categories, such as those over 65 or with medical conditions, are exempt from the resume and practice job interview requirements. The bill allows the DOC to use various funds, including inmate trust funds and donations, to cover associated costs, and it will become effective on November 1, 2025.
