SB 733 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Criminal procedure; establishing time limitation for the filing of an indictment or information; allowing for extensions; authorizing certain release. Effective date.

SB 733 sets strict deadlines for prosecutors to file criminal charges: within 5 business days for most counties, or 10 days for counties with over 500,000 residents. The state may request extensions if they show "good cause," but if deadlines pass, arrested people held in custody can automatically request release without bail (on their own recognizance). The bill directly affects individuals arrested and held in custody in Oklahoma criminal cases, ensuring they cannot be detained indefinitely without formal charges. It modifies existing law to prioritize timely prosecution and prevent prolonged pretrial detention.
