Pardon and Parole Board; increasing member compensation. Effective date.

SB 1347 increases compensation for Oklahoma's Pardon and Parole Board members, raising the annual salary for the Chair from $24,800 to $80,000 and for regular members from $22,800 to $70,000. The bill also designates board positions as full-time (not part-time or voluntary) and ties pay to attendance, requiring members to attend meetings or risk losing compensation or facing removal for excessive absences. These changes take effect November 1, 2026. The bill directly affects current and future board members by altering their pay structure and attendance expectations.
