Criminal procedure; directing courts to prioritize orders of payments of restitution; effective date.
HB 1462 requires Oklahoma courts to prioritize ordering restitution payments when sentencing defendants convicted of crimes (excluding death penalty cases). The bill mandates courts to order restitution to victims when the defendant can pay without hardship, with 12% annual interest, and clarifies that restitution must be paid before other sentencing options like community service or fines. This directly affects convicted individuals (who must pay), crime victims (who receive payments), and state agencies (like the OSBI that may seek reimbursement).
