Assault and battery; requiring certain assessment; authorizing certain alternative programs. Effective date.

SB 1100 amends Oklahoma's domestic abuse sentencing laws to require courts to mandate specific assessments and treatment programs for offenders convicted of domestic assault or battery against intimate partners or family members. It mandates that defendants complete either a 52-week certified batterers' intervention program or a 26-week alternative program certified by the Attorney General, including pre- and post-program evaluations. The law specifies that three consecutive unexcused absences or seven total absences in 52 weeks constitute a probation violation. This directly affects individuals convicted of domestic abuse under Oklahoma Statutes § 644, focusing on rehabilitation through structured programs rather than solely increasing penalties.
