Upon motion of the district attorney of the county from\n\nwhich a sentence was imposed, the court may hold execution of a\n\nsentence of imprisonment in abeyance if the offender has a pending\n\nsentence of incarceration to be served in the custody of the United\n\nStates Bureau of Prisons or successor federal agency.\n\nB. Any offender whose sentence has been held in abeyance\n\npending execution of a federal sentence pursuant to subsection A of\n\nthis section shall be returned to the Department of Corrections to\n\ncomplete execution of his or her sentence upon release from federal\n\ncustody, unless the remainder of the sentence of the offender has\n\nbeen discharged, vacated, paroled, or commuted while the offender\n\nwas in federal custody.\n\nC. In determining whether to hold the execution of a sentence\n\nin abeyance pending execution of a federal sentence, the court shall\n\nconsider the safety of the public, personnel of the Department of\n\nCorrections, personnel of law enforcement agencies, other inmates,\n\nand the offender. The filing of a motion to hold the execution of a\n\nsentence in abeyance by the district attorney shall create a\n\nrebuttable presumption that it is in the public interest to hold the\n\nsentence in abeyance and that the motion shall be granted.\n\nD. The Department of Corrections shall be responsible for\n\ntransportation of the offender from federal custody to state custody\n\nupon the release of the offender from federal custody.\n\nE. An offender whose sentence has been held in abeyance pending\n\nexecution of a federal sentence shall not be released from the\n\ncustody of the Department of Corrections until and unless federal\n\nauthorities take custody of the offender. In no event shall an\n\norder holding execution of a state sentence in abeyance pursuant to\n\nthis section result in the release of the offender from both state\n\nand federal custody simultaneously.\n\nF. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any\n\noffender who has been sentenced to death and whose death sentence\n\nremains valid.","path":["OK Code","Title 22"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os22.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"d5045758f123ae2c2dce9b10d8bff004e08749ebeb87fee075cdb1f5a4ffb5e8","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-22-22-982a","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-22-22-983"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
