Criminal procedure; creating the Oklahoma Criminal Procedure Act of 2026; effective date.

HB 4240 creates a new title for future criminal procedure law in Oklahoma, naming it the "Oklahoma Criminal Procedure Act of 2026." It does not change existing criminal procedure rules or directly affect any individuals or entities, as it is solely a procedural act establishing a future law's name. The bill specifies the act will take effect on November 1, 2026, but contains no substantive provisions or mechanisms. This is a purely administrative bill, not a policy change, and remains in early legislative stages (first reading on February 2, 2026).
