No later than August 1, 1993, the Court of Criminal Appeals shall establish qualification rules for determining when a defendant in a criminal case shall be entitled to a court-appointed attorney.
It is the intent of the Oklahoma Legislature that the payment of bail by a defendant or on behalf of a defendant shall be prima facie evidence that said defendant has funds to employ his own attorney and the Court shall then inquire into the financial status of the defendant prior to appointing an attorney.
