SB 882 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Driving under the influence; modifying bail provisions related to charges of driving under the influence. Effective date.

SB 882 modifies bail rules for people arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), specifically targeting second or subsequent offenses under Oklahoma Statute 47 O.S. § 11-902. It requires courts to consider a defendant’s history of alcohol or drug dependence when setting bail, creating a rebuttable presumption that standard bail would not ensure public safety if dependence is proven. The bill also removes mandatory drug/alcohol testing requirements from accident reporting rules under § 47 O.S. § 10-104. These changes directly affect individuals with documented substance dependence facing repeat DUI charges.

What changed between versions

Introduced Floor (Senate) · 4 edits
MODERATE
The bill text was reformatted from an introduced version to a Senate floor version, with substantive amendments added to Section 1105 regarding bail and release conditions. The floor version expands requirements for courts to consider evidence of substance dependence when determining bond conditions for certain drug-related offenses, and adds a rebuttable presumption that release conditions won't assure community safety unless specific evidence is shown. The bill also maintains requirements that certain domestic violence-related arrests cannot be released on personal recognizance bonds.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on driving under the influence and bail procedures, but enforcement mechanisms were strengthened for drug-related offenses by adding specific evidentiary requirements for bond determinations.
