Pardon and Parole Board; updating language; effective date.

Summary

The bill bars any member of Oklahoma’s Pardon and Parole Board, and the members of their law firms, from acting as legal counsel for incarcerated inmates. Violating this prohibition causes the board member to lose their office, and anyone who represented an inmate before that inmate’s sentence cannot vote on that inmate’s pardon or parole request. It also requires members to disclose and recuse themselves from any matter where their impartiality could be questioned.
