SB453

Oklahoma Expedited Actions Act modifies civil procedure for offers of judgment in property damage cases.

The Oklahoma Expedited Actions Act revises the process for offers of judgment in civil actions related to negligent or willful injury to property. It mandates that a defendant can offer a judgment amount at least seven days before trial. If the plaintiff accepts, judgment is rendered accordingly. If the plaintiff does not accept and the judgment is for less than the offer, the plaintiff pays the defendant's costs. The offer must include specific details such as the amount, applicable causes, and expiration date.
