HB 3903 requires Oklahoma law enforcement agencies to create detailed written domestic violence incident reports (not just dispatch logs), including crime type, day, and time, and submit monthly summaries to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. It mandates that court clerks accept, file-stamp, and docket protective order petitions without charging victims any fees, while prohibiting courts from requiring victims to pursue other legal actions (like divorce) before seeking protection. The bill also adds provisions allowing courts to grant exclusive custody of animals owned by either party during domestic violence cases and requires annual judiciary training on these procedures. These changes directly affect victims seeking protection, law enforcement agencies, and court clerks handling domestic violence cases.
