House Bill No. 1564, known as the "Oklahoma Expedited Actions Act," establishes a new legal framework for civil procedure in Oklahoma, specifically aimed at expediting cases where the monetary relief sought is $250,000 or less. The bill outlines the application of the expedited actions process, including provisions for recovery, trial setting, and discovery limitations. It mandates that cases under this act must adhere to specific timeframes for trial and discovery, with a trial date set within 90 days after the discovery period ends. Additionally, the bill allows for the removal of a case from the expedited process under certain conditions, such as if a party seeks relief beyond the specified monetary limit.

The legislation also introduces strict guidelines for discovery, limiting the number of interrogatories, requests for production, and admissions that can be served by each party. It allows for alternative dispute resolution procedures and sets parameters for the admissibility of expert testimony. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, and aims to streamline civil litigation in Oklahoma by providing clear rules and timelines for cases that fall within its scope.
