Commutations; allowing certain offenders to submit applications for commutation once every two years; effective date.

HB 1074 allows nonviolent offenders in Oklahoma to submit commutation applications (requests to reduce prison sentences) once every two years, instead of less frequently. It creates an accelerated process for inmates convicted of crimes reclassified from felony to misdemeanor under Oklahoma law. The bill also requires the Pardon and Parole Board to notify victims 20 days before hearings and provide detailed annual reports to the legislature on commutation and parole decisions. This affects nonviolent offenders seeking sentence reductions and ensures victims receive advance notice of review proceedings.
