New Oklahoma Laws In 2016 Part 21 – Granting Drug Courts Authority To Waive Remaining Fees, Court Costs, & Fines

HB 3119 grants drug courts authority to waive remaining fees, court costs, and fines, upon successful completion of drug court if the court believes that continued payment would create a financial hardship for the offender. The court can also now waive any requirement that fines and costs be satisfied by a person prior to that person being eligible for a provisional driver license.

This law went into effect November 1, 2016 and amends 22 OS §§ 471.6 and 471.9.
