HB2245Paraphrase:creates the Oklahoma Criminal Illegal Alien Rapid Repatriation Act of 2009, which allows the director of the Department of Corrections to release a prisoner to the custody and control of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, provided the department has received an order of deportation for the prisoner from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, the prisoner has served at least one-third of the total amount of imposed incarceration, and the prisoner has not been convicted of certain offenses. The bill states that if a prisoner released under this act returns illegally to the United States, upon notice from any federal or state law enforcement agency, the director shall revoke the release of the prisoner and the prisoner shall serve the remained or his or her original incarceration. The bill permits the Board of Corrections to renew a private that is in effect for the current fiscal year if the board determines that the renewal would result in a reduced per diem in fiscal year 2010. If the board makes that determination, the bill exempts the contract from certain restrictions and requires the board to negotiate the contract based on terms it deems to be in the best interest of operational efficiency. The bill removes certain restrictions on inmates that can be housed at private prisons located in the state. The bill also prohibits private prisons from housing detainees designated as enemy combatants by the federal government, or who are under investigation, charge or conviction for crimes of related to international terrorism or acts of hostile aggression against the U.S. or its allies. The bill requires private prison contractors to give the Department of Corrections first right of contract prior to contracting for the housing of federal inmates or inmates from other states. The bill requires private prison contractors to receive authorization from the Department of Corrections prior to housing maximum security inmates in the custody of the United States or another state. The bill establishes a process for the department to grant authorization. The bill requires all private prison contractors operating in Oklahoma to provide construction plans to the Department of Corrections prior to the construction of any new facility or addition to an existing facility and establishes penalties for failure to comply with the requirement.

It states that providing education funds, in amounts determined by the Legislature in the normal course of appropriations, to teach English to persons who are not fluent in English shall be presumed to preserve and enhance the role of English as the official language. It specifies that if the state has the choice to take an action in English or in a language other than English, a choice to take the action in English instead of in the other language shall be presumed to help preserve and enhance the role of English as the official language. It also states that taking the action in the other language, or in both English and the other language, without being specifically required to do so by federal or state law, shall be presumed not to preserve and enhance the role of English as the official language. The bill presumes a law or policy to diminish or ignore the role of English as the official language of this state if, under threat of legal penalties and without being specifically required to do so by federal or state law or permitted by the Oklahoma Constitution, it compels any person to use or permit the use of a language other than English in private activities, including those necessary for education-, employment- or business-related purposes. The bill also presumes that requiring private employers to permit the use of a language other than English on the job or sanctioning a private employer for requiring the use of English on the job shall be presumed to diminish or ignore the role of English as the official language of Oklahoma. It also prohibits bilingual or bicultural education programs which maintain a student in a language other than English, which shall be presumed to diminish or ignore the role of English as the official language. The bill provides an exemption for Native American languages.

HB2273Paraphrase:directs an agency with jurisdiction to give written notice to the attorney general and a multidisciplinary team when it appears that a person may meet the criteria of a sexually violent predator within 90 days of the release of a person convicted of a sexually violent offense, charged with such offense and who has been determined to be incompetent to stand trial or found not guilty by reason of insanity of such offense. It directs the director of the Department of Corrections to establish a multidisciplinary team to review available records of such persons referred and assess whether the person meets the definition of a sexually violent predator. The measure directs the attorney general to appoint a prosecutor's review committee to review the records of persons referred to assist in determining whether they meet the definition of a sexually violent predator. If a person is determined to meet the definition of sexually violent predator, the bill allows the attorney general to file a petition in the county where the person was convicted or charged with the offense. Upon filing of such a petition, a judge is directed to determine whether probable cause exists to believe the person is a sexually violent predator and should be taken into custody. If probable cause is found, the bill directs that a trial be held to determine whether there is clear and convincing evidence that the person is a sexually violent predator and should be committed to the custody of the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services for control, care and treatment until such time as the mental abnormality or personality disorder has so changed that the person is safe to be at large. The measure requires persons committed under the act to have current examinations of mental condition once every year. If the commissioner of the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services determines the mental abnormality or personality disorder has so changed that he/she is not likely to engage in repeat acts of sexual violence, the bill authorizes the commissioner to petition the court for transitional release, at which point a hearing is to be held for the attorney general to show by clear and convincing evidence that the abnormality or disorder of the petitioner remains and he/she is not safe to be at large. The bill directs that a person in transitional release must once a year be examined by treatment staff. It directs that the commissioner of the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services be responsible for all costs relating to the evaluation and treatment of persons committed under the act, but reimbursement may be obtained.

HB2363Paraphrase:allows state agency administrators to submit reports concerning all acquisitions that exceeded $50,000 but not exceeding $100,000 of the state agency for the preceding fiscal year in either written or electronic form. The CCR creates a statewide voluntary buyout program for retirement-eligible state workers. The bill defines terms of the program, including "agency," which excludes institutions within the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education; "eligible employee," who is a state worker that is eligible for normal retirement on the date the voluntary buyout payment is made by the agency; "eligible voluntary buyout expenditures," which include 18 months of health insurance premiums for the employee, the employee's next scheduled longevity payment and a maximum one-time payment of $5,000. The bill creates the Voluntary Buyout Agency Reimbursement Revolving Fund and establishes procedures for agencies to seek reimbursement from the fund through the Office of State Finance. The bill requires agencies to enter a contingent agreement with the employee before making reimbursement requests and specifies the language that must be included in the agreement. The bill requires the agreement to be executed if an agency receives confirmation from the Office of State Finance that funds for reimbursement are available. The bill requires agencies to inform the Office of State Finance of the amount of reimbursement it will seek and requires the Office of State Finance to confirm the sufficiency of funds for the agency. The measure also requires applications for reimbursement to be processed in the order in which they are received and for reimbursements to be made in full subject to the available balance of the fund, unless the balance is insufficient to make the full reimbursement. The bill prohibits reimbursements being made on a pro rata basis and requires the denial of reimbursement requests if payment in the full amount cannot be made. The bill also requires agencies that receive reimbursements for voluntary buyouts to agree that its number of full-time-equivalent employees shall be reduced by that number of positions for a period of not less than 36 months. The bill requires the agencies to report the information to the Office of State Finance, which shall require agencies that fail to comply with the requirement to repay the amount of reimbursement received. The bill also requires agencies to preserve enough full-time-equivalent positions as are necessary to perform the duties imposed on the agency by law. The bill permits agencies to offer separate voluntary buyout plans for which they will receive no reimbursement. The measure also prohibits employees who accept the voluntary buyout from employment with the state agency from which the employee received the buyout payment for a period of three years. The bill also exempts employees who accepts the buyout offer from obtaining unemployment benefits and requires agencies making buyout payments to provide sufficient information to the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission to identify the employees for purposes of denying claims for benefits resulting from the end of employment with the agency.

It states that upon the effective date of the bill, all positions on the existing court are to become vacant, and it directs the governor to appoint four new judges, subject to confirmation by the Senate. It requires judges appointed to the Court of Existing Claims to have at least five years of experience in workers' compensation matters in Oklahoma. It grants the court authority over all workers' compensation claims for which the date of injury was prior to Nov. 1, 2010. The bill also creates the Workers' Compensation Commission to be comprised of three members appointed by the governor, subject to Senate confirmation. It creates positions of administrative law judges under the jurisdiction of the commission to be permanently assigned to the southeast, southwest, northwest and northeast regions of the state, and it requires two judges to be located both Tulsa and Oklahoma City. It requires claims for workers' compensation to be heard in the region where the accidents occurred, where the claimant resided at the time of the injury or where the employer has its primary business. It allows the governor to remove members of the commission for inefficiency, neglect of duty or misconduct in office, subject to confirmation by the Senate. The bill authorizes the Workers' Compensation Commission to hear and determine all claims for compensation; employ a chief medical officer, special medical examiners and advisors; hear appeals from orders made by the chief medical officer regarding ratings of permanent disability; assess penalties; and issue subpoenas, administer oaths and take testimony. The measure modifies definitions under the Workers' Compensation Act. The bill requires an employee to report to the employer an injury within 10 business days of the date of the injury, or an employer is not responsible for disability, medical or other benefits. It states that any signed statement by an employee that an injury or illness was not work related is an absolute bar against any future workers' compensation claim. It establishes procedures for the Workers' Compensation Commission to follow in hearing injury reports. The bill states that the commission is bound by the Oklahoma Rules of Evidence or federal Daubert Guidelines, or both. It limits Supreme Court review of appeals to actions in which the commission acted without or in excess of its power; the order or award was procured by fraud; or the order or award was against the clear weight of the evidence of record. It states that any employer that does not secure a required payment is subject to a fine of up to $10,000, payable to the Death and Permanent Total Disability trust Fund, or may be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500 and/or imprisonment in county jail for up to one year. It subjects the duration of treatment provided under the act to the limitation established in treatment guidelines and protocols recommended by the Physician Advisory Committee and approved by the chief medical officer, unless waived. It states that medical evaluations obtained outside a certified workplace medical plan, after the commencement of treatment and prior to obtaining written confirmation is not admissible unless it provides clear and convincing evidence the treatment is contrary to nationally recognized treatment guidelines. The measure directs the Workers' Compensation Commission to hire a vocational rehabilitation director to oversee vocational rehabilitation programs. It establishes a Medical Impairment Rating Registry Program to establish a resource to resolve disputes regarding the degree of permanent medical impairment ratings for injuries or occupational disease. It establishes methods for calculating payment for injuries. It allows the commission to review any compensation order, award or decision, except joint petition settlements that have been agreed to and filed with the commission. The bill prohibits an attorney or counselor from deducting or withholding any portion of judgment from the commission, a court of law, settlement or any money held in trust for a client to donate to a political fund, political action committee, campaign of any kind or candidate for state, federal or local office. It modifies language related to the Advisory Council on Workers' Compensation. The measure also repeals language related to the place of workers' compensation hearings; the basis to compute compensation; the review of an award by a court; the powers and duties of presiding judges of the Workers' Compensation Court; actions for injuries or death; and the Physician Advisory Committee's duty to provide recommendations for sprain or strain injuries.

It also increases from $5,000 to $20,000 the maximum fine for willfully or maliciously engaging in child sexual abuse, engaging in enabling child sex abuse, engaging in child sexual exploitation and engaging in enabling child sexual exploitation. The measure removes language allowing a punishment of death for anyone convicted of forcible anal or oral sodomy, rape, rape by instrumentation or lewd molestation of a child under age 14 subsequent to a previous conviction for the same offense. It states that any person convicted of rape of a child age 6 or younger in conjunction with a conviction for a qualifying felony subsequent to a previous conviction for rape of a child age 6 or under is to be punished by imprisonment with the Department of Corrections for life without parole or by death, except for any parent, guardian or person having custody or control of a child. It defines "qualifying felony crime" as any felony crime that includes punishment of 10 years or more of imprisonment.

In the Senate, the bill was amended to establishes that any person convicted of rape of a child six years of age or younger subsequent to a previous conviction and term of imprisonment for rape of a child six years of age or younger, and upon a separate finding beyond a reasonable doubt by the jury that the defendant intended to kill the child, shall be punished by imprisonment in the custody of the Department of Corrections for life without parole or by death.

It creates a registry to be maintained by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control of persons who have been convicted or received a suspended sentence or any probationary term for the crime of possession of methamphetamines or possession of a precursor with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine. It prohibits any person subject to the registry from purchasing or possessing any Schedule V compound, mixture or preparation containing any detectable quantity of pseudoephedrine. It requires all district court clerks to forward a copy of the judgment and sentence and date of birth of all persons convicted under the act to the bureau within 45 days of the date of judgment and sentence. It also requires the bureau to remove from the registry the name and other identifying information of a person convicted of a violation of the offenses in the act 10 years after the date of the most recent judgment and sentence. It states that any person who assists another person who is on the registry in the purchase of pseudoephedrine products is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by incarceration in the county jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000 on first offense, and incarceration in the custody of the Department of Corrections for two years and/or by a fine of at least $2,500 on second and subsequent convictions. The CCR adds language that requires the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs to maintain a public methamphetamine offender registry Web site by Nov. 1, 2011. The CCR also adds language that requires the bureau to conduct background checks on companies and individuals that provide its janitorial services. The CCR adds language that allows passports and military identification to be used for the purchase of pseudoephedrine and to allow a nursing home resident or person under hospice care who does not have an identification card to use a Social Security number to comply with the reporting requirements. The CCR also adds language that exempts the central repository provided for in the Anti-Drug Diversion Act from technology oversight by the Office of State Finance.

It lists requirements of the program. It requires the program be voluntary to both the provider and patient on an encounter-by-encounter basis. It requires the program be offered and administered by the vendor through an Internet application. The CCR creates the Oklahoma Health and Wellness Board that will be made up of 11 members appointed by the governor, the Senate president pro tempore and t House Speaker. The CCR also establishes that a representative of the Oklahoma Education Association and the Oklahoma Public Employees Association will serve as non-voting members of the board. The CCR requires the board to create and oversee two divisions - the HealthChoice Health Insurance Division and the Employee Benefits Division - for procuring, administering and managing health benefit plans offered to state and education employees. The CCR also requires the board to consolidate the personnel and facilities of the board and its divisions and to identify inefficient and duplicative functions or services. The CCR directs the board to eliminate any duplicative positions or services and to sell or dispose of any duplicative assets. The CCR requires the board to annually remit to the State Treasurer for deposit in the General Revenue Fund an amount that reflects 15 percent of the combined administrative costs of the board as of the end of fiscal year 02010. The CCR also requires the board at the end of each plan year to utilize all amounts from the fund equity of the Health and Dental Fund that are in excess of 175 percent of the Experience Fluctuation Risk Component of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Health Risk-Based Capital calculation for the purpose of funding health savings accounts, flexible spending accounts and the wellness program at the discretion of the board.

The CCR requires the board to establish a wellness program for all participants in the plan, including financial incentives for participation in the wellness program and health living practices. The CCR also requires all state employees to participate in the wellness program. The CCR specifies that the board will choose one health maintenance organization, or HMO, to provide health insurance coverage to state employees.

The CCR provides that any excess benefit allowance for new state employees hired after Nov. 1, 21010,will be deposited in a health savings account, a flexible savings account or deferred compensation account. The CCR provides that any new eligible school district employees will use their benefit allowance for health insurance, deferred compensation or Section 125 plan offerings. The CCR extends the State Employee Health Insurance Review Working Group for one year and renames the entity the State Employees Health Insurance and Compensation Review Working Group. The CCR repels sections of law that create the currents boards of OSEEGIB and EBC and several other sections related to EBC that are not longer necessary because of the consolidation provided in the bill. The CCR amends numerous sections of law to reflect the consolidation of OSEEGIB and EBC to reflect the name change to the Oklahoma Health and Wellness Board.

SB2301Paraphrase:creates Tabby's Laws, which creates the Electronic Monitoring Program for certain persons registered under the provisions of the Sex Offenders Registration Act. The bill establishes a $75 fee to be paid by every person required to register under the act and requires that the revenue from the fee be deposited in the Sex Offender Electronic Monitoring Fund created by the bill. The bill requires the Department of Corrections or its authorized vendor to use electronic monitoring devices on certain offenders who must register under the Sex Offender Registration Act. It states that any person no longer under the supervision of DOC but required to register is to be fitted for an electronic monitoring device, as directed by the court, if he/she is convicted of a misdemeanor or felony offense, excluding traffic violations, for a period of at least one year and no longer than the duration of his/her registration. It directs any person under the supervision of DOC to be fitted for a device upon discharge, and it requires persons convicted of certain crimes to wear the device for 10 years as long as they comply with the provisions of the Sex Offenders Registration Act and have no additional misdemeanor or felony convictions, excluding traffic violations. It allows such persons to petition the court for removal of the device upon completion of the 10-year term. The bill also directs persons convicted of certain other crimes to wear the device for 15 years, and it allows him/her to petition the court for removal of the device upon completion of the 15-year term. It allows a court to order that a device be worn for the duration of a person's lifetime upon conviction of a second or subsequent offense. The bill makes any person who removes or destroys an electronic monitoring device subject to re-assignment to imprisonment for one year to 10 years, a fine of between $1,000 and $10,000 and wearing of the device for the duration of his/her lifetime. It increases from five to 10 years the imprisonment term for violations of provisions of the Sex Offenders Registration Act. It also states that if a person returns to the custody of DOC for failure to register, the individual is not eligible for early release. It also modifies the fine for failure to register from a maximum of $5,000 to a fine of $100 per day until the person registers. In the House, the language making provisions for a person who is unable to pay the cost of any monitoring equipment or fee was removed. The bill was further amended in the House stating that persons registered under the Sex Offenders Registration Act and who have been assigned a numeric risk level of three or classified as a habitual or aggravated sex offender by DOC are subject to the Electronic Monitoring Program. It also modifies the term of the electronic monitoring, directing persons discharged from custody of DOC who are assigned a numeric risk level of three or classified as a habitual or aggravated sex offender to be monitored for life.
