Grand juries; repealing requirements requiring endorsement of witness names on indictment. Effective date.
SB 1458 repeals a requirement that prosecutors list witness names on grand jury indictments under Oklahoma law. This procedural change removes an administrative step for prosecutors and court clerks when preparing certain court documents. The bill directly affects court procedures but does not alter legal standards for charging crimes or impact defendants. (1 sentence, as it is a procedural bill)
