OKLAHOMA CITY (March 26, 2026) – Attorney General Gentner Drummond today applauded the state Legislature's passage of a pair of bills that place restrictions on driving under the influence (DUI) offenders.
House Bill 3114 and Senate Bill 137, authored by Rep. Jonathan Wilk and Sen. Warren Hamilton, are identical bills that would prohibit prison inmates who have been convicted of a DUI causing great bodily injury to another person from being released on the Department of Corrections’ Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) Surveillance Program. The measures also cause anyone participating in the GPS program who is ineligible under the new rules to be removed from the program.
“Any drunk driver who severely injures an innocent person should face consequences that fit the gravity of their crime,” Drummond said. “I appreciate the work that Rep. Wilk and Sen. Hamilton put into these bills, and I appreciate the House and the Senate for voting to pass their respective versions of the bills."
The bills were introduced amid a controversial decision by the Department of Corrections last month to release Sara Polston from prison to the GPS program after serving only 73 days of her eight-year sentence. Polston nearly killed Micaela Borrego, now 23, while driving under the influence in 2023. Borrego suffered brain damage in the crash and has lasting, life-altering injuries.
SB 137 has passed the Senate 37-8 and now heads to the House for passage. HB 3114 heads to the Senate after a 92-2 vote in the House.
