HB 1734 modifies Oklahoma's civil procedure rules for sheriff property sales conducted via online auctions. It limits online auction platforms to charging a maximum $350 fee for their services, prohibits charging buyers a separate "buyer's premium" (though requires disclosure if any fee is disclosed), and specifies how platforms must handle payments (holding deposits, settling transactions, then remitting funds to the court). The bill directly affects sheriffs conducting sales, online auction platforms, and property buyers participating in these sales. It takes effect on November 1, 2025.
