Committee advances modernization of multi-county bail bonds statute

Representative Bayshore introduced Senate Bill 378, saying the measure "modernizes Oklahoma's multi county bail bonds in statute" by providing controlled flexibility and writing capacity, strengthening financial guardrails, and enhancing oversight and transparency to prevent disruption to courts and outstanding bonds. He moved the bill for adoption and yielded for questions; none were raised.

The committee opened a recorded vote and the clerk reported '6 ayes, 0 nay.' The chair declared SB 378 passed and recommended it for the floor.
