Criminal procedure; deleting certain notice and affidavit requirement; effective date.
HB 3629 removes the requirement for courts to file an affidavit proving service of notice in criminal competency hearings. It deletes the specific affidavit filing step from Oklahoma law (22 O.S. § 1175.2), while keeping the existing notice content requirements for defendants and relatives. This change affects courts, defendants, attorneys, and family members involved in competency determinations by streamlining the procedural step for serving notice. The bill does not alter the substantive notice content or hearing timelines.
