At any proceeding held relevant to this act, a report of the\n\nfindings of the laboratory of the Oklahoma State Bureau of\n\nInvestigation, the medical examiner's report of investigation or\n\nautopsy report, or a laboratory report from a forensic laboratory\n\noperated by the State of Oklahoma or any political subdivision\n\nthereof, which has been made available to the person or an\n\nauthorized representative at least five (5) days prior to the\n\nhearing, with reference to all or part of the evidence submitted,\n\nwhen certified as correct by the persons making the report shall be\n\nreceived as evidence of the facts and findings stated, if relevant\n\nand otherwise admissible in evidence. If the report is deemed\n\nrelevant by either party, the court shall admit the report without\n\nthe testimony of the person making the report, unless the court,\n\npursuant to this subsection, orders the person to appear.\n\nB. When any alleged controlled dangerous substance has been\n\nsubmitted to the laboratory of the Oklahoma State Bureau of\n\nInvestigation for analysis, and the analysis shows that the\n\nsubmitted material is a controlled dangerous substance, the\n\ndistribution of which constitutes a felony under the laws of this\n\nstate, no portion of the substance shall be released to any other\n\nperson or laboratory absent an order of a district court. The\n\ndefendant shall additionally be required to submit to the court a\n\nprocedure for transfer and analysis of the subject material to\n\nensure the integrity of the sample and to prevent the material from\n\nbeing used in any illegal manner.\n\nC. The court, upon motion of either party, shall order the\n\nattendance of any person preparing a report submitted as evidence in\n\nthe hearing when it appears there is a substantial likelihood that\n\nmaterial evidence not contained in the report may be produced by the\n\ntestimony of any person having prepared a report. The hearing shall\n\nbe held and, if sustained, an order issued not less than five (5)\n\ndays prior to the time when the testimony shall be required.\n\nD. If within five (5) days prior to the hearing or during a\n\nhearing, a motion is made pursuant to this section requiring a\n\nperson having prepared a report to testify, the court may hear a\n\nreport or other evidence but shall continue the hearing until such\n\ntime notice of the motion and hearing is given to the person making\n\nthe report, the motion is heard, and, if sustained, the testimony\n\nordered can be given.","path":["OK Code","Title 63"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os63.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"a178dcc5f95941f8f3ce723de4160e39e627cc2a9abe7682b5078e779d26c044","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-63-63-4210.11","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-63-63-4210.13"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
