Authors For Sarah Stitt Act Aim To Give Prisoners A Level Playing Field Upon Release
The state legislature is in session through the end of May, which means bills like the Sarah Stitt Act were awaiting Gov. Kevin Stitt s stamp of approval.
News On 6 spoke with those who authored the bill to break down what the passing of House Bill 1679 could mean for incarcerated Oklahomans ready to reenter society.
House Bill 1679 requires the Oklahoma Department of Corrections to identify inmates leaving custody within nine months of release and begin gathering documentation crucial for post-incarceration employment.
