OK HB1802

Authorizes courts to order nonviolent offenders awaiting transfer to Department of Corrections to be confined at home or other suitable location under electronic monitoring supervised by the county sheriff, with possible private vendor contracts for monitoring services.

Requires electronic monitoring systems to operate 24/7 with real-time notification of violations; if using private vendors, systems must have two separate monitoring technologies with automatic rollover capabilities for redundancy.

Allows courts to revoke electronic monitoring orders if the offender violates terms or becomes a safety/escape risk; offenders receive jail credit for time served under electronic monitoring.

Establishes that offenders are responsible for all living and medical expenses while on electronic monitoring and must receive credit toward their sentence; counties receive $20 per day reimbursement from Department of Corrections for electronically monitored inmates instead of the standard higher daily rate.

Makes the act effective November 1, 2011.
