OK HB2652

Creates the Oklahoma Innocence Collaboration Program within the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to investigate whether forensic evidence can prove factual innocence of incarcerated felony offenders.

Authorizes the OSBI to collaborate with public/private higher education institutions, law enforcement agencies, and forensic laboratories to perform forensic testing (including DNA analysis) on physical evidence from cases accepted into the program.

Requires law enforcement agencies to provide forensic laboratory examination records and investigative records to collaboration participants; records are confidential and exempt from the Oklahoma Open Records Act.

Establishes procedures for forensic testing including maintaining sufficient evidence samples for both prosecution and defense, restricting consumption of samples without court order or agreement, and entering DNA profiles into the OSBI CODIS database when permissible.

Sunsets the program on July 1, 2018, and becomes effective November 1, 2012.
