Pardon and Parole Board; updating language; effective date.

HB 3353 updates Oklahoma's Pardon and Parole Board rules to prevent conflicts of interest. It prohibits board members (or their law firms/partners) from representing incarcerated inmates in legal matters while serving on the Board, and requires disqualification from voting on cases involving inmates they previously represented. The bill also mandates board members to disclose potential conflicts and uphold impartiality. These changes take effect November 1, 2026, directly affecting Board members and inmates whose cases involve prior legal representation by a Board member.
