Okla. Stat. tit. 22, § 22-471.3: Initial hearing
Where this section sits in the code
- OK Code
- Title 22
A. At the initial hearing for consideration of an offender for
a drug court program, the district attorney shall determine whether:
1. The offender has approval to be considered for the drug
court program; and
2. Any statutory preclusion, other prohibition, or program
limitation exists and is applicable to considering the offender for
the program.
The district attorney may object to the consideration of an
offender for the drug court program at the initial hearing.
B. If the offender voluntarily consents to be considered for
the drug court program and has signed and filed the required form
requesting consideration, and no objection has been made by the
district attorney, the court may refer the offender for a drug court
investigation as provided in Section 471.4 of this title, and set a
date for a hearing to determine final eligibility for admittance
into the program.
C. Upon any objection of the district attorney for
consideration of an offender for the program, the court shall deny
consideration of the offender's request for participation in the
drug court program. Upon denial for consideration in the drug court
program at the initial hearing, the criminal case shall proceed in
the traditional manner. A denial of consideration of the offender
for the program shall not preclude any future consideration of the
offender for the drug court program with the approval of the
district attorney.
