House Bill No. 1743 amends Section 246 of Title 58 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to probate procedures, specifically regarding petitions for summary administration. The bill modifies the time requirement for filing combined notices, stipulating that the combined notice must be filed within five days from the granting of the order admitting the petition and order for combined notice, replacing the previous requirement of filing at the same time as the petition for summary administration. The combined notice will include essential information such as the decedent's details, the petitioner's information, and instructions for interested parties regarding objections.

Additionally, the bill outlines the process for notifying creditors and interested parties, requiring that notice be published in a local newspaper or posted in public places if no newspaper is available. It mandates that the combined notice be mailed to creditors and interested parties within ten days of the order granting the petition. The final hearing on the matter must be set at least 45 days after the order is granted, and provisions are made for postponing the hearing if there are defects in notice or objections filed. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
