Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-2415: Interpreter’s fees – Recess periods

A. A qualified legal interpreter appointed under the provisions

of the Oklahoma Legal Interpreter for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing

Act shall be entitled to the prevailing rate for qualified legal

interpreters in this state; provided, any interpreter who is

appointed pursuant to Section 2409 or 2410 of this title shall be

paid in accordance with the fee schedule established pursuant to

Section 7 of Senate Bill No. 779 of the 1st Session of the 50th

Oklahoma Legislature, if that bill is enacted. Prior to the

establishment of a fee schedule or if Senate Bill No. 779 of the 1st

Session of the 50th Oklahoma Legislature is not enacted, payment

shall be the prevailing rate for qualified legal interpreters in

this state. When the interpreter is appointed by a court, the fee

shall be paid out of the local court fund as provided for in Section

1304 of Title 20 of the Oklahoma Statutes and when the interpreter

is otherwise appointed, the fee shall be paid by the appointing

authority. The person for whom the interpreter is appointed shall

not be assessed a reimbursement fee.

B. The appointing authority shall provide recess periods as

necessary for the qualified legal interpreter as determined by the

interpreter.
