Pretrial data; Pretrial Collection Data Act; requiring certain entities to collect specific data; effective date.

HB 2186, the "Pretrial Data Collection Act," requires Oklahoma police departments, sheriff offices, and county jails to collect and report specific data about individuals in pretrial detention starting January 1, 2026. It mandates monthly collection of demographic details (like race, age, ZIP code, and unhoused status), offense information, mental health/substance use disorder status, jail costs, and facility metrics (such as operational capacity and average stay length). This data must be submitted to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and published publicly in machine-readable format by July 2026. The bill directly affects law enforcement agencies, county jails, and the public, aiming to standardize pretrial data for transparency and analysis.
