Oklahoma SB128 amends forcible entry and detainer laws by extending the time period for certain appearances and increasing the time period for service of certain summonses. The bill updates the statutory language to make it gender-neutral and provides exceptions for specific actions. The summons must be served at least three days before the trial date, and the return day cannot be later than fifteen days from the date the summons is issued. The bill also mandates that the summons be in a form developed in plain and understandable language by the Oklahoma Bar Association.
