14
15 SECTION 1. AMENDATORY 22 O.S. 2021, Section 60.17, is
15
16 amended to read as follows:
16
17 Section 60.17. A. The court shall consider the safety of any
17
18 and all alleged victims of domestic violence, stalking, harassment,
18
19 sexual assault, or forcible sodomy where the defendant is alleged to
19
20 have violated a protective order, committed domestic assault and
20
21 battery, stalked, sexually assaulted, or forcibly sodomized the
21
22 alleged victim or victims prior to the release of the alleged
22
23 defendant from custody on bond. The court, after consideration and
23
24 to ensure the safety of the alleged victim or victims, may issue an
24
Req. No. 3346 Page 1
1 emergency protective order pursuant to the Protection from Domestic
1
2 Abuse Act. The court may also issue to the alleged victim or
2
3 victims an order restraining the alleged defendant from any activity
3
4 or action from which they may be restrained under the Protection
4
5 from Domestic Abuse Act. The court shall not consider a "no contact
5
6 order as condition of bond" as a factor when determining whether the
6
7 petitioner is eligible for relief. The protective order shall
7
8 remain in effect until either a plea has been accepted, sentencing
8
9 has occurred in the case, the case has been dismissed, or until
9
10 further order of the court dismissing the protective order. In
10
11 conjunction with any protective order or restraining order
11
12 authorized by this section, the court may order the defendant to use
12
13 an active, real-time, twenty-four-hour Global Positioning System
13
14 (GPS) monitoring device for such term as the court deems
14
15 appropriate. Upon application of the victim, the court may
15
16 authorize the victim to monitor the location of the defendant. Such
16
17 monitoring by the victim shall be limited to the ability of the
17
18 victim to make computer or cellular inquiries to determine if the
18
19 defendant is within a specified distance of locations, excluding the
19
20 residence or workplace of the defendant, or to receive a computer-
20
21 or a cellular-generated signal if the defendant comes within a
21
22 specified distance of the victim. The court shall conduct an annual
22
23 review of the monitoring order to determine if such order to monitor
23
24 the location of the defendant is still necessary. Before the court
24
Req. No. 3346 Page 2
1 orders the use of a GPS device, the court shall find that the
1
2 defendant has a history that demonstrates an intent to commit
2
3 violence against the victim, including, but not limited to, prior
3
4 conviction for an offense under the Protection from Domestic Abuse
4
5 Act or any other violent offense, or any other evidence that shows
5
6 by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant is likely to
6
7 commit violence against the victim. The court may further order the
7
8 defendant to pay costs and expenses related to the GPS device and
8
9 monitoring.
9
10 B. 1. Any defendant charged with domestic abuse by
10
11 strangulation, domestic abuse with a dangerous or deadly weapon, or
11
12 domestic abuse after a previous adjudication for domestic abuse
12
13 shall not be released on bail without a GPS monitoring device
13
14 attached to the defendant. The cost of the monitoring device shall
14
15 be paid by the defendant at his or her own expense until the
15
16 conclusion of the criminal case. The Department of Corrections
16
17 shall monitor such GPS monitoring device and the defendant until the
17
18 conclusion of the case, and the defendant shall pay a supervision
18
19 fee as provided for other persons subject to supervision by the
19
20 Department. At the conclusion of the case, the court shall order
20
21 the removal of the GPS monitoring device if the defendant is
21
22 acquitted, is to be incarcerated, or the case is dismissed.
22
23 2. Upon application of the victim, the court may authorize the
23
24 victim to monitor the location of the defendant. Monitoring by the
24
Req. No. 3346 Page 3
1 victim shall be limited to the ability of the victim to make
1
2 computer or cellular inquiries to determine if the defendant is
2
3 within a specified distance of locations, excluding the residence or
3
4 workplace of the defendant, or to receive a computer- or cellular-
4
5 generated signal if the defendant comes within a specified distance
5
6 of the victim.
6
7 SECTION 2. This act shall become effective November 1, 2026.
