OK SB1295

Courts may order nonviolent offenders convicted of offenses not listed in Section 571 of Title 57 to be confined at home or other suitable location under electronic monitoring by the county sheriff, with consent of the district attorney and sheriff, while awaiting transfer to Department of Corrections facilities

Sheriffs may contract with private vendors for electronic monitoring services, which must provide 24/7 real-time monitoring using two separate technologies with automatic rollover capabilities and immediate violation notification

Offenders on electronic monitoring must pay their own living and medical expenses; those unable to pay are ineligible for the program, and they receive credit for time served as if confined in county jail

Certain offenders are excluded from electronic monitoring eligibility, including those convicted of child pornography, felonies, child prostitution, or abuse of vulnerable adults in nursing facilities, as well as those with outstanding felony warrants or prior escapes within 10 years

Department of Corrections shall reimburse counties up to $20.00 per day for inmates on electronic monitoring, compared to up to $27.00 per day for inmates physically retained in jail
