Civil procedure; real property title; bond; effective date.

Summary

The bill changes Oklahoma civil procedure so that anyone defending a claim to real‑property ownership or boundaries must submit a verified answer or affidavit with specific facts before the trial date. Courts can also order the defendant to post a bond up to 10% of the property's market value to protect the land while the case proceeds. It also lets landlords use forcible entry and detainer actions for lease disputes and removes the need for a pre‑trial answer.
