Pardons and paroles; requiring medical director of the Department of Corrections to make certain request. Effective date.

Summary

The bill gives Oklahoma’s Department of Corrections medical director the power to ask the parole board to place an inmate on its docket for medical reasons, skipping normal processing. It applies to inmates who are dying, medically frail, vulnerable, or whose condition no longer poses a public safety threat, but not to those serving life without parole. Victims must be notified and parole can be revoked if the inmate becomes a risk.
