Summary

The bill revises Oklahoma’s civil procedure code to establish clear deadlines for answers, cross‑claim responses, and replies, and to specify which defenses may be raised by pleading or by motion. It also outlines when those defenses are waived and gives courts authority to hear preliminary motions and strike insufficient defenses. The changes affect all parties in civil lawsuits by clarifying procedural requirements and protecting certain defenses.
