Civil procedure; providing time frame for which certain action related to sexual assault may be brought. Effective date.
SB 876 amends Oklahoma's civil statute of limitations to extend the timeframe for filing civil lawsuits related to sexual assault. It allows victims to file such claims within four years after leaving the abuser's dependency or discovering both the injury and its connection to the abuse, whichever occurs later. This change directly affects individuals seeking civil damages for sexual assault injuries under Oklahoma Statutes §142.20. The bill becomes effective November 1, 2025, and does not alter existing statutes for childhood sexual abuse cases or other civil actions.
