HB 1070 requires that after arrest and booking into an Oklahoma city or county jail, individuals must be allowed to make at least three telephone calls within 48 hours. These calls must be to an attorney (or public defender if indigent), a bail bondsman, or a relative, with local calls provided at no cost and out-of-area calls at the person's expense. Jails must post attorney contact numbers and provide the calls immediately upon request. The law directly affects anyone arrested and booked into Oklahoma county or city jails, ensuring timely access to legal and support contacts.
