Okla. Stat. tit. 22 § 1092

Current through Laws 2024, c. 453.

Section 1092 - Legislative findings, declarations, and intent

It is hereby found and declared that:

1. The Interstate Compact for the Supervision of Parolees and Probationers, established in 1937, was the earliest corrections compact established among the states and has not been amended since its adoption over sixty-two (62) years ago;

2. The Interstate Compact for the Supervision of Parolees and Probationers is the only vehicle for the controlled movement of adult parolees and probationers across state lines, and it provides jurisdiction over more than a quarter of a million offenders;

3. The complexities of this compact have become more difficult to administer, and many jurisdictions have expanded supervision expectations to include unregulated practices such as victim input, victim notification requirements and sex offender registration;

4. After hearings, national surveys, and a detailed study by a task force appointed by the National Institute of Corrections, the overwhelming recommendation has been to enact a new compact to bring about an effective management capacity that addresses public safety concerns and offender accountability; and

5. Upon the adoption of the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision, it is the intention of the legislature to repeal the Uniform Act for Out-of-State Parolee Supervision, Sections 347, et seq. of Title 57 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
