SB 216 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Driver licenses; extension of certain driver license; requiring mailing of driver license to certain individual. Effective date.

SB 216 extends Oklahoma driver license validity for 6 months after release from state prison for individuals who had a valid license before incarceration and were convicted of offenses not requiring mandatory license revocation. It directly affects formerly incarcerated Oklahomans seeking to regain driving privileges. The bill requires the Department of Corrections to provide release documentation to help obtain a temporary license (provisional license) within 6 months of release, without requiring payment of fees or fines during that period. After 6 months, individuals must pay $25 monthly toward outstanding fees/fines to maintain the provisional license, with suspension possible for non-payment.
