A. Any person released on parole or released without parole from a term of imprisonment with the Department of Corrections shall be required to report at a time not less than one hundred eighty (180) days after his or her release from the Department of Corrections to:

1. The district court of the county from which the judgment and sentence resulting in incarceration arose; and

2. All other district courts or municipal courts where the person owes fines, fees, costs and assessments,

for the purpose of scheduling a hearing to determine the ability of the person to pay fines, fees, costs or assessments owed by the person in every felony or misdemeanor criminal case filed in a district court or criminal case filed in a municipal court of this state. Such hearing shall be held in accordance with the provisions of Section VIII of the Rules of the Court of Criminal Appeals, 22 O.S. 2011, Ch. 18, App. A court may for good cause shown or in its discretion continue such hearing for up to one hundred eighty (180) days.

The person shall not be required to pay any outstanding fines, fees, costs or assessments prior to the expiration of the one-hundred-eighty-day period; provided, however, the person shall not be precluded from voluntarily making payment toward the satisfaction of any fines, fees, costs or assessments due and owing to a district or municipal court of this state.

C. The Court of Criminal Appeals shall promulgate rules governing the provisions of this section including, but not limited to:

1. Reporting, hearing and payment requirements as provided for in subsections A and B of this section;

2. Consolidating district and municipal court fines, fees, costs or assessments owed by a person into one order for payment; and

3. Accepting and distributing payments received for fines, fees, costs or assessments to various district and municipal courts when consolidated by the court into one order for payment.
