Extends the statute of limitations for health care liability claims in Oklahoma if the claimant had a good faith belief of a federal procedural bar.

Oklahoma HB3119 extends the statute of limitations for health care liability claims, including those based on negligence, medical malpractice, lack of informed consent, or medical battery. This extension applies if the claimant had a good faith belief that a federal procedural bar was in place when the cause of action arose. The extended period lasts until one year after the good faith belief no longer existed. This law applies to actions accruing on or after February 1, 2020, and does not revive any claims barred by limitation before the act's effective date.
