OK HB3345

Allows persons accused of any criminal offense (expanded from felonies only) to voluntarily submit to risk, mental health, and substance abuse screenings after arrest rather than after initial court appearance

Requires screenings to be reviewed by personnel approved by the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, changing from previous "certified" and "scored" requirements

Grants the court, district attorney, arrested person, and their counsel access to completed screening results

Protects screening information from being used as evidence in criminal proceedings unless the defendant waives this protection or has pled guilty and the court is determining sentencing/diversion options

Effective date of November 1, 2026; received "Do Pass" recommendation from Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety Oversight on February 26, 2026
