When ordering a community sentence or community punishment,\n\nthe court shall first impose a deferred or suspended sentence for\n\nthe offense as prescribed by law, and shall then order the\n\nappropriate community punishment as a condition of that deferred or\n\nsuspended sentence. The design of the community punishment shall be\n\nbased upon the supervision and intervention report from the risk and\n\nneeds assessment. The local community sentencing system\n\nadministrator shall have authority for all offender placements\n\nwithin the local community sentencing system pursuant to the court-\n\nordered community sentence.\n\nB. Persons convicted of or pleading guilty or nolo contendere\n\nto a combination of misdemeanor and felony offenses may receive\n\nservices from a local community sentencing system when the county\n\nagrees in writing to pay the Community Sentencing Division within\n\nthe Department of Corrections for the actual costs of services used\n\nfor misdemeanor cases. No state funds shall be used to pay for\n\nmisdemeanor offenses.\n\nC. Any time during the term of a community sentence, the court\n\nimposing the sentence may modify any previous provision as provided\n\nin this section.\n\nD. Upon consideration of a properly filed motion to modify a\n\ncommunity sentence pursuant to the provisions of this section, the\n\nstaff of the community sentencing system in which the offender is\n\nordered to participate, the sheriff, the district attorney, the\n\nservice provider, or any agency or person providing supervision of\n\nthe offender shall provide the court with any reports and other\n\ninformation available and relating to the offender, and to the\n\nreason for the motion to modify the sentence. The court shall\n\nconsider any reports and information submitted prior to modifying\n\nthe sentence.\n\nE. If the court considers a motion to modify a community\n\nsentence, a hearing shall be held in open court. The notice of the\n\nhearing shall be given to the offender, the offender's legal\n\ncounsel, and the district attorney of the county in which the\n\noffender was convicted not less than ten (10) days prior to the\n\nhearing. A copy of any reports to be presented to the court shall\n\naccompany the notice of hearing.\n\nF. Following the hearing, the court shall enter the appropriate\n\norder authorized by law. The court may modify any community\n\nsentence by imposing any other punishment allowed by law for the\n\noffense and appropriate for the circumstances as determined by the\n\ndiscretion of the judge; provided, however, no punishment shall be\n\nimposed which is greater than the maximum punishment allowed by law\n\nfor the original offense. The court shall give the offender day-\n\nfor-day credit on any modified sentence for any term of\n\nincarceration imposed. The court may impose either a disciplinary\n\nsanction or an incentive as provided in Section 988.20 of this title\n\nin lieu of or together with any modification authorized by this\n\nsection.\n\nG. The court shall not be limited on the number of\n\nmodifications a sentence may have within the term of the community\n\nsentence.\n\nH. Any offender who files a meritless or frivolous motion to\n\nmodify a community sentence shall pay the costs of the proceeding\n\nand may be sanctioned as deemed appropriate by the court.\n\nI. The court may revoke or accelerate a community punishment to\n\nthe original sentence imposed during the term of the sentence. When\n\na community sentence is revoked to state imprisonment, the court\n\nshall give a day-for-day credit for any term of incarceration\n\nactually served as community punishment.","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":"511a5efce607d69c10c4b966871013efc8094c560486d38d28dd651c11f458c8","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-22-22-988.18","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-22-22-988.2"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
