House Bill No. 2619, introduced by Harris, amends Section 3226 of Title 12 of the Oklahoma Statutes to enhance transparency in commercial litigation funding. The bill requires parties to produce any commercial litigation funding agreements upon request, while ensuring that information related to these agreements is not admissible as evidence in court. It also mandates that the production of such agreements includes a sworn certification regarding the source of any funds, particularly if they come from a foreign state or agency. Notably, consumer litigation funding agreements are exempt from these requirements. The bill clarifies the scope of discovery, allowing parties to obtain relevant, non-privileged information proportional to the case's needs, and retains existing provisions on the admissibility of insurance agreements.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions for handling confidential documents in court, including the requirement for protective orders to be presented to court clerks and the retention of documents produced under such orders. It establishes definitions for "commercial litigation funder" and "commercial litigation funding agreement," clarifying exclusions for certain legal services and consumer funding agreements. The bill emphasizes compliance with the Oklahoma Rules of Professional Conduct and is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
