S.Q. 780 & 781: Law Enforcement, Criminal Rehabilitation

by

State Question 780 is a measure that would reduce the classification of some crimes from a felony to a misdemeanor. Specifically, it would declassify simple drug possession charges from a felony to a misdemeanor. It would also declassify some property crimes and increase the amount of property stolen to equal a felony from $500 to $1000.

Oklahoma State Question 781 is a measure that would use the funds saved by incarcerating fewer people due to State Question 780 to create drug rehabilitation and mental health care programs.

Of course, State Question 781 cannot pass unless State Question 780 also passes.
