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.

MODERATE
The bill was transitioned from the House floor version to the Senate floor version, resulting in minor formatting updates and a change in the committee reporting section. The core policy provisions regarding data collection for State Question 780 remain substantively unchanged.
TECHNICAL
The header was updated to reflect the 'Senate Floor Version' instead of the 'House of Representatives - Floor Version', and the date was added as April 7, 2026.
The list of co-authors was updated to include 'Waldron' and 'Rader' alongside the original House and Senate sponsors.
The committee report attribution was changed from the 'Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety Oversight' to the 'Committee on Public Safety'.
A new line was added to the committee report stating 'DO PASS'.
