The bill amends 12 O.S. 2021, Section 1148.4, which governs the issuance and return of summons in forcible entry and detainer cases. Key modifications include a change in the time frame for trial, specifying that the summons must command the defendant to appear within a period of not less than five days and not more than ten days, exclusive of weekends and holidays, from the date of issuance. Additionally, the language has been updated to be gender-neutral, replacing references to "him" with "him or her," and clarifying that the summons must inform the defendant of the nature of the claim and the relief sought.

The bill also includes the deletion of the phrase "therein" and the insertion of "in the" to enhance clarity in the legal text. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2026. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the legal process related to forcible entry and detainer while ensuring that the language used is inclusive and clear.
