HB 4408 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

State question 780 data; calculation of savings and averted costs from implementation of the Oklahoma Smart Justice Reform Act; Department of Corrections; Legislative Office of Fiscal Transparency; Administrator of the Courts; effective date.

HB 4408 requires the Oklahoma Department of Corrections and the Administrator of the Courts to submit annual data by July 31st on offenders convicted only of crimes reclassified under State Question 780 (which reduced penalties for certain low-level offenses). This data includes unique offenders, days served, and sentence lengths for offenses now classified as misdemeanors or with adjusted dollar thresholds. The Legislative Office of Fiscal Transparency must then calculate the state's annual savings from reduced incarceration costs within 30 days, using actual data or best estimates if needed. The final calculation is binding and cannot be revised later, with the bill taking effect November 1, 2026.
