Okla. Stat. tit. 22, § 22-983b

fines, fees and costs.

A. Any person released on parole or released without parole

from a term of imprisonment with the Department of Corrections shall

be required to report at a time not less than one hundred eighty

(180) days after his or her release from the Department of

Corrections to:

1. The district court of the county from which the judgment and

sentence resulting in incarceration arose; and

2. All other district courts or municipal courts where the

person owes fines, fees, costs and assessments,

for the purpose of scheduling a hearing to determine the ability of

the person to pay fines, fees, costs or assessments owed by the

person in every felony or misdemeanor criminal case filed in a

district court or criminal case filed in a municipal court of this

state. Such hearing shall be held in accordance with the provisions

of Section VIII of the Rules of the Court of Criminal Appeals, 22

O.S. 2011, Ch. 18, App. A court may for good cause shown or in its

discretion continue such hearing for up to one hundred eighty (180)

days.

B. In determining the ability of the person to satisfy fines,

fees, costs or assessments owed to a district or municipal court,

the court shall inquire of the person at the time of the hearing

which counties and municipalities the person owes fines, fees, costs

or assessments in every felony or misdemeanor criminal case filed

against the person and shall consider all court-ordered debt,

including restitution and child support, in determining the ability

of the person to pay. In calculating and determining the ability of

a person to pay his or her fines, fees, costs, or assessments under

the provisions of this subsection, any monies received from a

federal or state government need-based assistance program shall not

be counted as personal income to pay for the legal and financial

obligations owed to the court. The court may reduce a person's

fines, fees, costs, or assessments if it is determined by the court

that the person does not have the ability to pay the fines, fees,

costs, or assessments. However, if the court determines that a

reduction in the fines, fees, costs, or assessments is warranted,

the court shall equally apply the same percentage reduction to the

fines, fees, costs, or assessments owed by the person. The person

shall not be required to pay any outstanding fines, fees, costs or

assessments prior to the expiration of the one-hundred-eighty-day

period; provided, however, the person shall not be precluded from

voluntarily making payment toward the satisfaction of any fines,

fees, costs or assessments due and owing to a district or municipal

court of this state.

C. The Court of Criminal Appeals shall promulgate rules

governing the provisions of this section including, but not limited

to:

1. Reporting, hearing and payment requirements as provided for

in subsections A and B of this section;

2. Consolidating district and municipal court fines, fees,

costs or assessments owed by a person into one order for payment;

and

3. Accepting and distributing payments received for fines,

fees, costs or assessments to various district and municipal courts

when consolidated by the court into one order for payment.
