4. “Community sentencing system planning council” or “planning council” means a group of citizens and elected officials specified by law or appointed by the Chief Judge of the Judicial District which plans the local community sentencing system and with the assistance of the Community Sentencing Division of the Department of Corrections locates treatment providers and resources to support the local community sentencing system;
8. “Eligible offender” means an offender who has been convicted of or who has entered a plea other than not guilty to a crime and who upon completion of a risk and needs assessment has been found to be in a range other than the low range and who is not otherwise prohibited by law, or is a person who has had an assessment authorized by Section 3-704 of Title 43A of the Oklahoma Statutes and the assessment recommends community sentencing. Provided, however, that no person who has been convicted of or who has entered a plea other than not guilty to an offense enumerated in paragraph 2 of Section 571 of Title 57 of the Oklahoma Statutes, as an exception to the definition of “nonviolent offense”, shall be eligible for a community sentence or community punishment unless the district attorney or an assistant district attorney for the district in which the offender's conviction was obtained consents thereto. The district attorney may consent to eligibility for an offender who has a mental illness or a developmental disability or a co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorder and who scores in the low range on the risk and needs assessment authorized by Section 3-704 of Title 43A of the Oklahoma Statutes or another assessment instrument if the offender is not otherwise prohibited by law. Any consent by a district attorney shall be made a part of the record of the case; and
B. For the purposes of the Oklahoma Community Sentencing Act, if a judicial district does not have a Chief Judge or if a judicial district has more than one Chief Judge, the duties of the Chief Judge provided for in the Oklahoma Community Sentencing Act shall be performed by the Presiding Judge of the Judicial Administrative District.
