  • a.to provide restitution to the victim as provided by Section 991f et seq. of this title or according to a schedule of payments established by the sentencing court, together with interest upon any pecuniary sum at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, if the defendant agrees to pay such restitution or, in the opinion of the court, if the defendant is able to pay such restitution without imposing manifest hardship on the defendant or the immediate family and if the extent of the damage to the victim is determinable with reasonable certainty,
  • b.to reimburse any state agency for amounts paid by the state agency for hospital and medical expenses incurred by the victim or victims, as a result of the criminal act for which such person was convicted, which reimbursement shall be made directly to the state agency, with interest accruing thereon at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum,
  • c.to engage in a term of community service without compensation, according to a schedule consistent with the employment and family responsibilities of the person convicted,
  • d.to pay a reasonable sum into any trust fund established pursuant to the provisions of Sections 176 through 180.4 of Title 60 of the Oklahoma Statutes and which provides restitution payments by convicted defendants to victims of crimes committed within this state wherein such victim has incurred a financial loss,

  • f.to confinement as provided by law together with a term of post-imprisonment community supervision for not less than three (3) years of the total term allowed by law for imprisonment, with or without restitution; provided, however, the authority of this provision is limited to Section 843.5 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes when the offense involved sexual abuse or sexual exploitation; Sections 681, 741 and 843.1 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes when the offense involved sexual abuse or sexual exploitation; and Sections 865 et seq., 885, 886, 888, 891, 1021, 1021.2, 1021.3, 1040.13a, 1087, 1088, 1111.1, 1115 and 1123 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes,
  • g.to repay the reward or part of the reward paid by a local certified crime stoppers program and the Oklahoma Reward System. In determining whether the defendant shall repay the reward or part of the reward, the court shall consider the ability of the defendant to make the payment, the financial hardship on the defendant to make the required payment and the importance of the information to the prosecution of the defendant as provided by the arresting officer or the district attorney with due regard for the confidentiality of the records of the local certified crime stoppers program and the Oklahoma Reward System. The court shall assess this repayment against the defendant as a cost of prosecution. The term "certified" means crime stoppers organizations that annually meet the certification standards for crime stoppers programs established by the Oklahoma Crime Stoppers Association to the extent those standards do not conflict with state statutes.

  • ff.in addition to other sentencing powers of the court, the court in the case of a defendant being sentenced for a felony conviction for a violation of Section 2-402 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes which involves marijuana may require the person to participate in a drug court program, if available.

However, any such order for restitution, community service, payment to a local certified crime stoppers program, payment to the Oklahoma Reward System or confinement in the county jail, or a combination thereof, shall be made in conjunction with probation and shall be made a condition of the suspended sentence.

The district attorney may waive any part of this requirement in the best interests of justice. The court shall not waive, suspend, defer or dismiss the costs of prosecution in its entirety. However, if the court determines that a reduction in the fine, costs and costs of prosecution is warranted, the court shall equally apply the same percentage reduction to the fine, costs and costs of prosecution owed by the offender;
