OK HB1045

Establishes a two-year filing deadline for post-conviction relief petitions, measured from sentence imposition or conclusion of direct appeal, whichever is later, except when extraordinary cause is shown.

Defines "extraordinary cause" as: DNA test results showing factual innocence, newly recognized constitutional rights made retroactively applicable, or newly discovered evidence that could not have been discovered with due diligence within two years.

Limits defendants to filing only one petition for post-conviction relief; any second or subsequent petition attacking the same judgment(s) must be summarily dismissed.

Allows petitioners to file a motion to reopen their first petition based on extraordinary cause, which must be supported by affidavit and contain only factually admissible information.

Makes all procedural requirements apply retroactively to all defendants sentenced in Oklahoma, with provisions taking effect November 1, 2015.
