1 Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature 2 1st Session of the 47th Legislature (2015) 3 4 House Bill No. ORU-514 By: Henry (ORU) 5 6 AS INTRODUCED 7 8 An act relating to better access to healthy fruits and vegetables to citizens of all 9 communities across the state of Oklahoma; providing short title; providing for 10 codification; providing an effective date. 11 12 BE IT ENACTED BY THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA 13 14 Section 1. This act shall be known as the “Farm to Fork” Act of 2015. 15 16 Section 2. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the O.S Title 2 17 18 There are many Oklahomans who lack adequate access to healthy food 19 These same communities also suffer from an increased rate of obesity, diabetes, and other 20 chronic health conditions related to poor diet. Facilitating access to healthy food in these 21 communities is needed to address the gaps in the food distribution system and help mitigate the 22 health consequences of this inadequacy. There are many county, state, federal, and private 23 organizations attempting to address this issue, but there is no state-level body charged with 24 coordinating these activities. A state-level office, charged with coordinating and line facilitating 25 food access, can increase the effectiveness of ongoing programs and ensure that efforts and 26 funding are not duplicated. The Department of Food and Agriculture is uniquely situated to 27 administer this office because of the department’s knowledge of the agricultural industry, and its 28 ability to bring farmers together with hunger relief organizations, partner agencies, schools, 29 colleges, community organizations, and others to increase the availability of healthy food. 30 The Oklahoma Department of Food and Agriculture shall Work with regional and statewide 31 stakeholders to identify urban and rural communities that lack access to healthy food, and 32 determine current barriers to food access, and share information to encourage best practices. 33 Promote greater retail sale of healthy food in underserved communities, including promoting the 34 acceptance of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), while enforcing what they 35 buy requiring them to only purchase healthy foods only with SNAP knowing that it’s the 36 governments money they are using. The Department of Food and Agriculture will also identify 37 opportunities for collaboration with community organizations, social services, and partner 38 agencies to provide cooking and nutrition education classes to residents of underserved 39 communities. 40 41 Section 3.

1 Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature 2 1st Session of the 47th Legislature (2015) 3 4 House Bill No. ORU-515 By: Jones (ORU) 5 6 AS INTRODUCED 7 8 An act relating to providing access to menus and to information regarding the 9 ingredients of foods; providing short title; providing for penalties; providing for 10 clarifications, providing for severance of provisions, and providing an effective 11 date. 12 13 BE IT ENACTED BY THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA 14 15 Section 1. This act shall be known as "The Access to Culinary and Nutritional 16 Information Act of 2015" 17 18 Section 2. A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma statutes to read as 19 follows: 20 21 A. All restaurants shall have produced or purchased grade two braille menus or large print 22 menus and shall have at least one hundred (100) braille menus and one hundred (100) large print 23 menus available on site in their restaurants by the end of ninety (90) days after this bill becomes 24 effective. Restaurants shall place their braille menus in their racks. 25 26 B. All restaurants shall put information, regarding the type of flour, sugar, or any 27 ingredients, such as high fructose corn syrup, that are equivalent to flour or sugar, next to that 28 food's name on all menus that they produce or purchase including but not limited to braille 29 menus and large print menus. Ever menu must contain a page that lists all of the ingredients 30 which are in all of a restaurant's food to which any known person has an allergy. This list of 31 ingredients must specify which foods contain which ingredients. This list may be placed at any 32 place within a menu at which any restaurant so chooses to place it. 33 34 Section 3. Penalties 35 36 Beginning ninety (90) days after this bill becomes effective health inspectors shall 37 include the presence of braille menus and large print menus in the list of items which they look 38 for when they perform regular health inspections. If this bill has been effective for ninety (90) 39 days and a health inspector inspects any restaurant and finds that any individual franchise does 40 not contain one hundred (100) braille menus and one hundred (100) print menus shall issue a 41 warning stating that the restaurant will be closed down if the inspector does not find braille 42 menus and large print menus within the restaurant before the end of the year. If this bill has been 43 effective for ninety (90) days and a health inspector inspects any restaurant and finds that any 44 individual franchise does not contain one hundred (100) braille menus and large print menus 45 shall give a ticket to each franchise's owner; this ticket shall tell that restaurant that it must pay a 46 fine of one thousand (1,000) dollars to the treasury of the state of Oklahoma unless said

128

1 restaurant can prove that it has purchased braille menus and large print menus and is waiting to 2 receive them. This ticket will also inform said restaurant that it must pay the fine, reach an 3 agreement with the Treasury and Health Departments allowing it to pay the fine in multiple 4 installments, over no more than two years, or file papers petitioning a court to rule that said 5 restaurant may pay a smaller fine within one month. A court may only rule that a restaurant may 6 pay a smaller fine if a restaurant can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that having to pay the full 7 fine at one time will so greatly increase their expenses that they will have to fire at least one 8 employee, or decrease the pay or benefits of at least one employee to profit to the same extent 9 that it profited during the previous year. A court may choose to reduce a fine because a business 10 proves that paying the full fine at one time will put them out of business. To prove this claim, a 11 business will have to show the court documentation that reveals the exact amount of the 12 company's profit from the previous year, the exact amount of the company's expenses the 13 previous year, and the exact amount of revenue that the business generated the previous year. 14 Under no circumstances may a court lawfully rule that a restaurant that has been ticketed does 15 not have to pay a fine. The court must hear a restaurant's argument regarding paying a reduced 16 fine or splitting the fine into multiple payments and make a decision within three months of the 17 issuance of the ticket which declares the fine unless the court issues a temporary injunction 18 declaring that the government must wait no more than nine months past the three month deadline 19 to collect the fine. If the court does not do this or if the court rules against the restaurant and the 20 restaurant does not appeal that ruling before the three months ends, then the business must pay 21 the full fine plus all of the legal and operating costs which the government has incurred in the 22 process of making the decision regarding the fine. If three (3) months have passed since a 23 restaurant received a ticket and the Oklahoma Treasury has not informed the health inspectors or 24 the restaurant that this fine has been paid, then health inspectors shall be authorized to demand 25 that a restaurant pay the fine plus an added two thousand dollars to them immediately upon the 26 moment they demand it. The health inspectors shall be authorized to shut the restaurant down 27 until the owner or manager pays the fine or at least provides proof that he or she has sent a 28 payment of the fine to the Oklahoma Treasury Department. The Health Inspectors will not be 29 authorized to do this if the restaurant owner provides them with evidence that he or she has either 30 appealed a court's ruling or that a court has sued an injunction that requires the government to 31 wait to collect the fine. If a restaurant is fined for not producing or purchasing braille menus and 32 large print menus, health inspectors must look for the presence of braille menus and large print 33 menus on every health inspection. Five hundred dollars will be added to the fine every time that 34 a health inspection shows that a restaurant that has already been fined does not contain braille 35 menus and large print menus. Five hundred dollars shall not be added to the fine if a restaurant 36 owner or manager shows the inspectors documents proving that the restaurant has purchased 37 braille menus and large print menus have been purchased but have not yet received them. If a 38 restaurant has not produced or purchased any braille menus and large print menus by the time 39 that law has been effective for six months, then the restaurant will be shut down unless it can 40 prove that no visually impaired persons live within a two hour drive of it or have visited it during 41 the previous year. A restaurant will also not be shut down for not having produced or purchased 42 braille menus and large print menus if it purchases braille menus and large print menus within a 43 week' of the inspectors' visit. If a restaurant wishes to use this provision to prevent health 44 inspectors from shutting it down the restaurant's owner or manager must tell the inspectors that 45 he will purchase braille menus and large print menus before a week has passed. If this happens, 46 the health inspectors will then be required to return seven business days after the original

129

1 inspection, and they will ask the restaurant's owner or manager to show them braille menus and 2 large print menus or to show them proof that the restaurant has ordered braille menus and large 3 print menus. 4 5 B. Enforcement 6 7 All of the penalties for failing to provide braille and large print menus are also the 8 penalties for failing to place a list of ingredients to which people are allergic in menus. These 9 penalties shall be enforced within the same time limits and in the same conditions within which 10 Section Two's penalties are enforced. If a restaurant violates both sections two and three of this 11 act the initial penalty shall be two thousand dollars and the delayed penalty shall be four 12 thousand dollars. Under this section, a restaurant cannot escape being shut down simply be 13 ordering or promising to order new menus; rather, a restaurant must prove that the new menu 14 that it orders or produces include the ingredients which section 2B requires them to include. 15 16 Section 4.

1 Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature 2 1st Session of the 47th Legislature (2015) 3 4 House Bill No. ORU-516 By: Jones (ORU) 5 6 AS INTRODUCED 7 8 An act relating to the right of citizens of the state of Oklahoma to enjoy full 9 privacy in the private property which they legally own; providing short title; 10 providing definitions; providing penalties; providing for severance of provisions; 11 and providing an effective date. 12 13 BE IT ENACTED BY THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA 14 15 Section 1. This act shall be known as "The Freedom to Deny Entrance to Private 16 Property Act of 2015" 17 18 Section 2. DEFINITIONS 19 20 A. Private property includes all lands, assets, automobiles, bank accounts, technology, 21 and electronic documents. 22 23 The words government agents only refer to all employees of the state of Oklahoma or of 24 counties, cities, or other municipalities within Oklahoma, including all police officers, 25 inspectors, and members of law enforcement. This does not, and cannot possibly, apply to 26 federal employees. 27 28 C. Entering private property refers to accessing private property in any way regardless of 29 whether that access is physical or electronic. 30 31 Section 3. A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes to read as 32 follows: 33 34 No state or local agent shall enter private lands or inspect private property for any 35 purposes that are in any way related to environmental concerns, preserving the environment, 36 enforcing environmental laws, or in any way prohibiting individuals from doing any form of 37 work or construction on their land. No individual shall be prohibited from draining any body of 38 water, chopping down trees, or in any way changing the local environment on their land unless 39 the government can prove that a person is changing his/her land with the purpose of aiding or 40 abetting enemies of the state of Oklahoma or the country of the United States. No state or local 41 agent shall set foot on any individual's private property for any purpose that is not directly 42 related to law enforcement. If a local or state agent wants to enter or access a person's land 43 without that person's permission for law enforcement purposes that a person must first submit a 44 request to the State Attorney General's Office requesting permission to enter that person's 45 property. The State Attorney General and State Justice Department may not grant that request if 46 the person who makes it does not provide documentation that contains concrete evidence that

131

1 clearly indicates that entering or accessing peoples' property is a necessary part of collecting 2 evidence of a person's commission of or complicity in a crime. Even after such permission has 3 been granted no government official may stay on that land for more than 24 hours. The previous 4 sentence does not apply to electronic files. Government officials may possess and view 5 electronic documents or papers for up to three days. At the end of that time law enforcement 6 officials must give such documents back to their owners and destroy all copies of them which the 7 government possesses unless the government finds evidence of criminal wrongdoing or 8 complicity in a crime or information that they reasonably believe will lead them to evidence of 9 the commission of or complicity in a crime. If law enforcement officials, government lawyers, or 10 any other government official or agent finds that any information within any electronic file or 11 any seized object provides evidence that falls under one of the categories listed above, he/she 12 shall write, sign, seal and certify a statement, explaining why his/her professional opinion the 13 document or seized item contains such information. This official shall then send that statement 14 and the file or object that it concerns to the Oklahoma Justice Department. If a government 15 official stays on a person's property for more than 24 hours the owner of that property may use 16 any method he or she deems necessary to remove agents from his/her property. If a person has 17 not received their documents back from law enforcement within three days, he/she may contact 18 the state Justice Department, local sheriffs, or any other local or state law enforcement agency 19 and demand an explanation for why the government has not returned his/her documents or 20 papers, to him/her. Any agency that receives such a communication must respond to that 21 communication within 24 hours of receiving it and must produce a truthful answer to such 22 questions within 48 hours of receiving a communication that contains said questions. The 23 provisions regarding electronic files and papers also govern the government's possession of all 24 items that it seizes at any time after the passage of this act. The words "any method he/she deems 25 necessary" may not be used as a defense for murder. If agents refuse to leave a person's property 26 after spending 24 hours on the property and a property owner cannot dislodge them; he/she may 27 lodge a complaint with the city or county police, city or county administrators, a local state 28 judge, or any department of the state of Oklahoma, requesting that civilian or military personnel 29 be sent to forcibly remove these agents from their land. This act may not be repealed by a vote of 30 any less than four fifths of both houses of the state legislature. 31 32 Section 4. PENALTIES 33 34 Any state or local agent who violates this law shall be considered to be trespassing on private 35 land and shall be liable to suit. Any state or local agent who does such an act shall immediately 36 forfeit his/her job and salary. Any government agent who enters any private land for any purpose 37 other than law enforcement, who is not carrying any official written statement of permission to 38 enter that property for law enforcement reasons, who stays on that property for more than 24 39 hours, or who enters another person's private property without receiving voluntary permission 40 from that property's owner shall be subject to all existing criminal penalties for trespass. Any 41 individual who sues any government agent for any of these purposes may request that said agent 42 pay him/her an amount of money that is at least equal to both parties' legal fees, and at most 43 equal to the value of the property which the agent trespassed, if the agent is found guilty of the 44 crime of trespass. 45 46

Upon conviction or adjudication of guilt of a defendant of murder in the first degree, 11 wherein the state is not seeking the death penalty but has alleged that the defendant has prior 12 felony convictions, the court shall conduct a separate sentencing proceeding to determine 13 whether the defendant should be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole or life 14 imprisonment, wherein the state shall be given the opportunity to prove any prior felony 15 convictions beyond a reasonable doubt. The proceeding shall be conducted by the trial judge 16 before the same trial jury as soon as practicable without presentence investigation. 17 18 B. If the trial jury has been waived by the defendant and the state, or if the defendant 19 pleaded guilty or nolo contendere, the sentencing proceeding shall be conducted before the court. 20 21 Section 4. REPEALER 21 O.S. 24, §701.10a – Death Penalty Sentencing 22 Procedure Upon Remand – Evidence – Applicability – Construction is hereby repealed. 23 24 Notwithstanding subsection A of Section 701.10 of this title, which requires that the same 25 jury sit in the sentencing phase of a capital murder trial, the following shall apply: 26 27 1. Upon any appeal by the defendant where the sentence is of death, the appellate court, if 28 it finds prejudicial error in the sentencing proceeding only, may set aside the sentence of death 29 and remand the case to the trial court in the jurisdiction in which the defendant was originally 30 sentenced. No error in the sentencing proceeding shall result in the reversal of the conviction for 31 a capital felony. When a capital case is remanded after vacation of a death sentence, the 32 prosecutor may: 33 34 a. move the trial court to impose any sentence authorized by law at the time of the 35 commission of the crime, which the trial court shall impose after a non-jury sentencing 36 proceeding, provided, the original sentencing proceeding was conducted before the court or the 37 original sentencing proceeding was conducted before a jury and both the defendant and the state 38 waive jury sentencing after remand; or 39 40 b. move the trial court to impanel a new sentencing jury who shall determine the sentence 41 of the defendant, which may be any sentence authorized by law at the time of the commission of 42 the crime, provided, the original sentencing proceeding was conducted before a jury; 43 44 2. If the prosecutor elects to utilize the procedure provided in paragraph b of subsection 1 45 of this section, the trial court shall impanel a new jury for the purpose of conducting new 46 sentencing proceedings;

353

1 2 3. Resentencing proceedings shall be governed by the provisions of 3 Sections 701.10, 701.11 and 701.12 of this title; 4 5 4. All exhibits and a transcript of all testimony and other evidence properly admitted in 6 the prior trial and sentencing shall be admissible in the new sentencing proceeding; additional 7 relevant evidence may be admitted including testimony of witnesses who testified at the previous 8 trial; 9 10 5. The provisions of this section are procedural and shall apply retroactively to any 11 defendant sentenced to death; 12 13 6. This section shall not be construed to amend the provisions of Section 701.10 of this 14 title, requiring the same jury to sit in both the guilt and sentencing phases of the original trial. 15 16 Section 5. REPEALER 21 O.S. 24, §701.10b – Mental Retardation – Death 17 Penalty – Burden – Notice – Evidentiary Hearing – Standard of Review – Instructions is hereby 18 repealed. 19 20 A. For purposes of this section: 21 22 1. "Mental retardation" or "mentally retarded" means significantly subaverage general 23 intellectual functioning, existing concurrently with significant limitations in adaptive 24 functioning; 25 26 2. "Significant limitations in adaptive functioning" means significant limitations in two or 27 more of the following adaptive skill areas; communication, self-care, home living, social skills, 28 community use, self-direction, health, safety, functional academics, leisure skills and work skills; 29 and 30 31 3. "Significantly subaverage general intellectual functioning" means an intelligence 32 quotient of seventy (70) or below. 33 34 B. Regardless of any provision of law to the contrary, no defendant who is mentally 35 retarded shall be sentenced to death; provided, however, the onset of the mental retardation must 36 have been manifested before the defendant attained the age of eighteen (18) years. 37 38 C. The defendant has the burden of production and persuasion to demonstrate mental 39 retardation by showing significantly subaverage general intellectual functioning, significant 40 limitations in adaptive functioning, and that the onset of the mental retardation was manifested 41 before the age of eighteen (18) years. An intelligence quotient of seventy (70) or below on an 42 individually administered, scientifically recognized standardized intelligence quotient test 43 administered by a licensed psychiatrist or psychologist is evidence of significantly subaverage 44 general intellectual functioning; however, it is not sufficient without evidence of significant 45 limitations in adaptive functioning and without evidence of manifestation before the age of 46 eighteen (18) years. In determining the intelligence quotient, the standard measurement of error

354

1 for the test administrated shall be taken into account. 2 3 However, in no event shall a defendant who has received an intelligence quotient of 4 seventy-six (76) or above on any individually administered, scientifically recognized, 5 standardized intelligence quotient test administered by a licensed psychiatrist or psychologist, be 6 considered mentally retarded and, thus, shall not be subject to any proceedings under this 7 section. 8 9 D. A defendant charged with capital murder who intends to raise mental retardation as a 10 bar to the death sentence shall provide to the state notice of such intention at least ninety (90) 11 days after formal arraignment or within ninety (90) days after the filing of a bill of particulars, 12 whichever is later. The notice shall include a brief but detailed statement specifying the 13 witnesses, nature and type of evidence sought to be introduced. The notice must demonstrate 14 sufficient facts that demonstrate a good-faith belief as to the mental retardation of the defendant. 15 16 E. The district court shall conduct an evidentiary hearing to determine whether the 17 defendant is mentally retarded. If the court determines, by clear and convincing evidence, that 18 the defendant is mentally retarded, the defendant, if convicted, shall be sentenced to life 19 imprisonment or life without parole. If the district court determines that the defendant is not 20 mentally retarded, the capital trial of the offense may proceed. A request for a hearing under this 21 section shall not waive entitlement by the defendant to submit the issue of mental retardation to a 22 jury during the sentencing phase in a capital trial if convicted of an offense punishable by death. 23 The court’s determination on the issue of mental retardation shall not be the subject of an 24 interlocutory appeal. 25 26 F. The court shall submit a special issue to the jury as to whether the defendant is 27 mentally retarded. This special issue shall be considered and answered by the jury during the 28 sentencing stage and prior to the determination of sentence. If the jury unanimously determines 29 that the defendant is mentally retarded, the defendant may only be sentenced to life 30 imprisonment or life without parole. The defendant has the burden of production and persuasion 31 to demonstrate mental retardation to the jury by a preponderance of the evidence. 32 33 G. If the jury determines that the defendant is not mentally retarded or is unable to reach 34 a unanimous decision, the jury shall proceed to determine the existence of aggravating and 35 mitigating factors in determining whether the sentence of death shall be imposed. In those 36 deliberations, the jury may consider any evidence of mental retardation as a mitigating factor in 37 sentencing the defendant. 38 39 H. If the jury determines that the defendant is not mentally retarded and imposes a death 40 sentence, the trial court shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law relating to the issue of 41 whether the determination on the issue of mental retardation was made under the influence of 42 passion, prejudice, or any other arbitrary factor. The findings shall be attached as an exhibit to 43 the report of the trial judge required under Section 701.13 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes. 44 If the trial court finds that the determination of mental retardation was not supported by the 45 evidence, the issue may be raised on appeal to the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals for 46 consideration as part of its mandatory sentence review.

355

1 2 I. The standard of review for a trier of fact mental retardation determination shall be 3 whether, after reviewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the state, any rational trier of 4 fact could have found the defendant not mentally retarded as defined by this section, giving full 5 deference to the findings of the trier of fact. 6 7 J. The court shall give appropriate instructions in those cases in which evidence of the 8 mental retardation of the defendant requires the consideration by the jury of the provisions of this 9 section. 10 11 Section 6. AMENDATORY 21 O.S. 24, §701.11 – Jury Instructions for 12 Sentencing – Aggravating Circumstances in Jury and Nonjury Cases is hereby amended as 13 follows: 14 15 In the sentencing proceeding, the statutory instructions as determined by the trial judge to 16 be warranted by the evidence shall be given in the charge and in writing to the jury for its 17 deliberation. The jury, if its verdict be a unanimous recommendation of death, shall designate in 18 writing, signed by the foreman of the jury, the statutory aggravating circumstance or 19 circumstances which it ultimately found beyond a reasonable doubt. In nonjury cases the judge 20 shall make such a designation. Unless at least one of the statutory aggravating circumstances 21 enumerated in this act is so found or if it is found that any such aggravating circumstance is 22 outweighed by the finding of one or more mitigating circumstances, the death penalty shall not 23 be imposed. If the jury cannot, within a reasonable time, agree as to punishment, the judge shall 24 dismiss the jury and impose a sentence of imprisonment for life without parole or imprisonment 25 for life. 26 27 Section 7. REPEALER 21 O.S. 24 §701.13 – Review of Death Penalty 28 Sentence is hereby repealed. 29 30 A. Whenever the death penalty is imposed, and upon the judgment becoming final in the 31 trial court, the sentence shall be reviewed on the record by the Oklahoma Court of Criminal 32 Appeals. The court reporter of the trial court shall prepare all transcripts necessary for appeal 33 within six (6) months of the imposition of the sentence. 34 35 The clerk of the trial court, within ten (10) days after receiving the transcript, shall 36 transmit the entire record and transcript to the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals together 37 with a notice prepared by the clerk and a report prepared by the trial judge. The notice shall set 38 forth the title and docket number of the case, the name of the defendant and the name and 39 address of his attorney, a narrative statement of the judgment, the offense, and the punishment 40 prescribed. The report shall be in the form of a standard questionnaire prepared and supplied by 41 the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals. 42 43 B. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals shall consider the punishment as well as 44 any errors enumerated by way of appeal. 45 46 C. With regard to the sentence, the court shall determine:

356

1 2 1. Whether the sentence of death was imposed under the influence of passion, prejudice, 3 or any other arbitrary factor; and 4 5 2. Whether the evidence supports the jury's or judge's finding of a statutory aggravating 6 circumstance as enumerated in Section 701.12 of this title 7 8 D. Both the defendant and the state shall have the right to submit briefs within the time 9 provided by the court, and to present oral argument to the court. The defendant shall have one 10 hundred twenty (120) days from the date of receipt by the court of the record, transcript notice, 11 and report provided for in subsection A of this section, in which to submit a brief. The state shall 12 have sixty (60) days from the date of filing of the defendant's brief to file a reply brief. The 13 defendant may file a reply brief within a time period established by the court, however the 14 receipt of the reply brief, the hearing of oral arguments, and the rendering of a decision by the 15 court all shall be concluded within one (1) year after the date of the filing of the reply brief. If the 16 defendant or the state fails to submit their respective briefs within the period prescribed by law, 17 the defendant or the state shall transmit a written statement of explanation to the Presiding Judge 18 of the Court of Criminal Appeals who shall have the authority to grant an extension of the time 19 to submit briefs, based upon a showing of just cause. Failure to submit briefs in the required time 20 may be punishable as indirect contempt of court. 21 22 E. In addition to its authority regarding correction of errors, the court, with regard to 23 review of death sentences, shall be authorized to: 24 25 1. Affirm the sentence of death; or 26 27 2. Set the sentence aside and remand the case for resentencing by the trial court. 28 29 F. The sentence review shall be in addition to direct appeal, if taken, and the review and 30 appeal shall be consolidated for consideration. The court shall render its decision on legal errors 31 enumerated, the factual substantiation of the verdict, and the validity of the sentence. 32 33 G. If the court reporter of the trial court fails to complete preparation of the transcripts 34 necessary for appeal within the six-month period required by the provisions of subsection A of 35 this section, the court reporter shall transmit a written statement of explanation of such failure to 36 the Chief Justice of the Oklahoma Supreme Court, the Presiding Judge of the Court of Criminal 37 Appeals, and the Administrative Director of the Courts. The Court of Criminal Appeals shall 38 have the authority to grant an extension of the time for filing the transcripts, based upon a 39 showing of just cause. Failure to complete the transcripts in the required time may be punishable 40 as indirect contempt of court and except for just cause shown may result in revocation of the 41 license of the court reporter. 42 43 Section 8.
