§ 2001 Short title - Scope.

This part of the law gives a name to a set of rules about "discovery" in criminal cases. Discovery is the process where the prosecution and the defense share evidence and information with each other before a trial happens. This section calls that set of rules the "Oklahoma Criminal Discovery Code."

The main point here is simple: these rules apply to every criminal case in every court across Oklahoma. It doesn't matter what type of crime someone is charged with or which court is handling the case. If it's a criminal case in Oklahoma, this discovery code sets the standard for how both sides exchange evidence and information before trial.
