22 OK Stat § 22-352 (2016) What's This?

A. The regular term of a multicounty grand jury shall be eighteen (18) months unless an order for discharge is entered earlier:

1. by the court after the multicounty grand jury determines by majority vote that its business is completed; or

2. by the court, on its own motion or on the motion of the Attorney General, upon a determination that termination is in the public interest.

B. The regular term of a multicounty grand jury may be extended by the presiding judge for a specified time period upon a verified petition by the Attorney General stating that an extension is necessary to conclude a grand jury inquiry begun prior to the expiration of the regular term. No jury so extended shall serve for more than twenty-four (24) months, unless permission is granted by the Supreme Court.
