Criminal procedure; increasing certain time limitations; effective date.
HB 2991 modifies Oklahoma's criminal discovery rules, primarily requiring prosecutors to disclose detailed information about jailhouse informants at least 60 days before trial. This includes the informant's full criminal history, any deals or promises made to them, specific statements made by the defendant, and whether the informant recanted testimony. The bill also mandates that district attorneys maintain centralized records of all cases involving jailhouse informants, with annual de-identified reports to the legislature. These changes directly affect prosecutors, defense attorneys, and courts in criminal trials across Oklahoma.
