Senate Bill 154 Summary

• Amends Oklahoma sentencing law (22 O.S. Sections 991a, 991b, and 991f) to require courts to prioritize restitution orders to crime victims to the extent feasible when sentencing defendants

• Modifies technical violation provisions under suspended sentences to limit revocation for technical violations to a maximum of 6 months for first revocation and 5 years for subsequent revocations, while protecting restitution payments from being waived

• Specifies that when reducing monetary obligations due to manifest hardship, courts must apply equal percentage reductions across all court-ordered payments (fines, costs, restitution) rather than targeting restitution alone

• Clarifies restitution definitions and priorities, establishing that crime victims receive first priority for restitution payments, followed by government agencies that provided reimbursement

• Effective date: November 1, 2025
