OK SB2151

Amends 21 O.S. Section 13.1 to allow district attorneys discretion to reduce the minimum sentence service requirement from 85% to 65% for persons convicted of violent and serious offenses before they become eligible for parole consideration.

Applies to 23 categories of serious crimes including first and second degree murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery with a dangerous weapon, child sex trafficking, human trafficking, and aggravated drug trafficking.

Adds two new offenses to the 85% rule: accessory to first or second degree murder, and discharging a firearm at or into a dwelling or building used for public or business purposes.

District attorneys must file notice with the court prior to final sentencing to invoke the reduced 65% minimum; convicted persons remain ineligible for earned credits that would reduce their sentence below the applicable minimum.

Effective date is November 1, 2026; the bill also repeals three prior conflicting versions of Section 13.1.
