Oklahoma HB4295 amends civil procedure rules for computing time periods in legal actions, adding days for service by mail or electronic means.
Oklahoma HB4295 modifies the computation of time periods in civil actions, adding three days to any prescribed period if service is made by mail, third-party commercial carrier, or electronic means. It also specifies that when a summons and petition are served by mail, the period for response is extended. The bill removes certain exemptions for the computation of time and applies to actions filed between November 1, 1999, and June 30, 2000. The changes aim to ensure fairness in the timing of legal actions, particularly when service is not made in person.
