This bill amends Sections 2008 and 2009 of Title 12 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which govern civil procedure, specifically focusing on the rules of pleading. Key modifications include the requirement for pleadings to contain a short and plain statement made with particularity of all material facts known to the pleading party that support the claim, creating a reasonable inference that the pleader is plausibly entitled to relief. The bill also introduces gender-neutral language, replacing terms like "he" and "his" with "he or she" and "his or her." Additionally, it clarifies that a material fact is necessary to the claim, and it specifies that when a party lacks knowledge to form a belief about an averment, they must state this, which will be treated as a denial.

Further changes include the stipulation that parties do not need to aver their capacity to sue or be sued unless raising an issue regarding legal existence or authority, which must be done through negative averment. The bill also emphasizes that in cases of fraud or mistake, the circumstances must be stated with particularity, and it allows for general averments regarding conditions precedent if they meet the requirements outlined in Section 2008. The effective date for these amendments is set for November 1, 2025.
