OK SB728

Amends Oklahoma's Protection from Domestic Abuse Act to require courts to order active, real-time, 24-hour GPS monitoring for defendants convicted of violating protective orders (previously discretionary)

Mandates GPS monitoring for defendants served with protective orders in cases involving domestic violence, stalking, harassment, sexual assault, or forcible sodomy when released on bond (changed from "may" to "shall")

GPS monitoring continues as long as the protective order or restraining order remains in effect, with annual court review to determine if monitoring is still necessary

Victims may apply to monitor the defendant's location via computer or cellular device to receive alerts if the defendant comes within a specified distance

Defendants may be ordered to pay costs and expenses related to the GPS device and monitoring; effective date is July 1, 2025, with an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage
