1. A. Upon a verdict of guilty or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere of an offender, the court shall delay sentencing for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days after the plea of guilty or finding of guilt is entered and order the offender to the Delayed Sentencing Program for Young Adults under the custody of the Department of Corrections. For purposes of the Delayed Sentencing Program for Young Adults, the term "custody" shall include probation or confinement. The court may initially commit the offender for either probation or confinement pending the completion of the Delayed Sentencing Program.

   1. 1. Defer judgement pursuant to the provisions of Section 991c of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes; or
   2. 2. Sentence said offender to any sentence provided by law in the custody of the Department of Corrections; or
   3. 3. Suspend the execution of sentence pursuant to Section 991a of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes. In addition to other conditions of probation allowed by statute, the court may include special conditions of probation as set forth in the plan provided to the court if sentencing is deferred or if all or part of the sentence is suspended.

   After the completion of said program the court shall:

2. B. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the offender is committed to the Delayed Sentencing Program for Young Adults, the Department of Corrections shall prepare and file with the court clerk a specialized offender accountability plan for said offender which shall comply with and be in lieu of the presentence investigation provided for in Section 982 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes. The plan shall include information, evaluations, and data directed by the sentencing court, and may include but not be limited to, the investigation report of probation officers, an assessment of security risks and offender needs and a recommended specific course of action, including, where applicable, psychological counseling, psychiatric treatment, medical treatment, education or vocational training, work, restitution, and such other programs, which will offer the best opportunity for rehabilitation of said offender. If the plan recommends confinement, the plan shall state specifically the type of confinement that the Department of Corrections proposes to utilize and the amount of time the offender will spend in that confinement.

   Upon filing the plan, copies shall be provided by the Department of Corrections to the district attorney, the offender, and the offender's attorney. These copies shall be provided at least twenty (20) days prior to the sentencing date set by the court. If the district attorney, the offender or the offender's attorney objects to said plan, he may file his written objections with the court within ten (10) days of the sentencing date.

3. C. An order by the court placing an offender in the Delayed Sentencing Program for Young Adults shall be accepted by the Department of Corrections as a commitment to the custody of the Department pursuant to the provisions of Section 521 of Title 57 of the Oklahoma Statutes, for the purpose of committing an offender for assessment.
4. D. The period of delayed sentencing may be extended upon execution of a waiver of the one-hundred-twenty-day period by the offender for the purpose of completing the Delayed Sentencing Program for Young Adults prior to sentencing. Provided however, in no event shall the extension exceed a period of sixty (60) days and said extension shall be approved by the court at which time the court shall set a new sentencing date in accordance with the programmed completion date.
