Oklahoma House of Representatives

edit

In 2024, a representative of the organization Oklahoma Appleseed called a bill Robert Manger co-authored with Julie Daniels[4] one of their "Bad Bills." HB 3566 adds "'aggravated eluding' to the list of youthful offender offenses. Oklahoma has 20 youthful offender eligible offenses. These are crimes that can be committed by someone under 18 that allow them to be 'bridged' into the adult system." This is in direct contrast to the mandate sent "to lawmakers in 2016 to lower incarceration rates safely" under the vote of the people.[5]
