Driving under the influence; requiring certain arrested person make bail before release; effective date.
HB 1222 modifies Oklahoma's bail procedures for specific offenses, primarily affecting individuals arrested for domestic violence, substance abuse violations, or repeat driving under the influence (DUI) offenses. The bill requires courts to consider factors like substance abuse history, domestic violence records, and threat levels when setting bail, and prohibits personal recognizance bonds for domestic violence arrests or second/third DUI offenses. For repeat DUI arrests (Section 11-902), courts must determine bail and provide written findings on public safety risks before release. It does not change DUI penalties but alters release conditions for these specific cases. The bill became law without the Governor's signature on May 13, 2025.
