Bill No. 1115 amends existing laws regarding public nuisances in Oklahoma. It defines a public nuisance as one that affects an entire community or a significant number of people, while explicitly stating that the manufacturing, marketing, and selling of lawful products cannot be classified as a public nuisance. The bill also clarifies the remedies available for public nuisances, which include civil actions seeking injunctive or equitable relief, and establishes that a defendant can only be found liable if they were in control of the conditions causing the nuisance at the time of the injury.

Additionally, the bill modifies the criteria for private individuals to maintain an action for public nuisance. It requires that the court must find, by clear and convincing evidence, that the nuisance is the proximate cause of special injury to the private person. This change aims to ensure that only those who can demonstrate a direct and significant impact from the nuisance can pursue legal action. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
