SB 661 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

District courts; modifying counties from which certain district court judges are nominated and elected. Effective date.

SB 661 modifies Oklahoma's judicial district boundaries for two court districts. It removes Jefferson County from District No. 5 (previously including Comanche, Stephens, Cotton, and Jefferson) and updates residency requirements for judges: positions 1 and 4 must be residents of Comanche or Cotton County, while position 2 requires residency in Stephens or Jefferson County. For District No. 21 (Garvin, McClain, Cleveland), it clarifies that all judge positions except #2 require residency in Cleveland County, with position #2 requiring residency in Garvin or McClain County. The changes apply to future elections starting with the 2025 effective date.
