Criminal procedure; establishing time limitation for the filing of an indictment or information; allowing for extensions; authorizing certain release. Effective date.

SB 733 sets strict time limits for filing criminal charges in Oklahoma: prosecutors must file an indictment or information within 5 business days (or 10 days in counties over 500,000 population) after an arrest. If these deadlines pass without charges, arrested individuals held in custody can automatically request release without bail (on "own recognizance"). The state may request extensions for "good cause," but missing the deadline triggers mandatory release. This directly affects people detained after arrest who face delayed prosecution. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
