Oklahoma § 22-1092 - Legislative findings, declarations, and intent

§ 22-1092. 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

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 22. Criminal Procedure

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.
