Probation; permitting certain offenders to receive completion and education credits under certain circumstances. Effective date.
SB 1372 allows eligible Oklahoma probationers to shorten their probation term by earning credits. Offenders who complete their first year of probation or earn a high school diploma, college degree, or vocational certificate can receive credits equal to 1/4 of their probation length. Supervising agencies must track these credits, notify offenders annually about their projected termination date, and inform courts when credits qualify for early termination. The bill excludes those convicted of certain serious offenses (like specific sex crimes or violent felonies) and allows offenders who complete education after probation ends to file a court motion for credit reduction.

The bill was revised from a Senate Floor version to a Floor Substitute version, primarily updating the language to reflect 'probation term reductions' instead of 'earned credits' and clarifying that offenders must satisfy all restitution and nonmonetary conditions to qualify. The substantive policy changes are minimal, with most differences being stylistic, formatting, or terminology adjustments to align with legislative drafting standards.
