Court fees; forcible entry and detainer; effective date.

HB 2098 amends Oklahoma's court fee structure for district court filings, setting specific flat fees for various case types. It directly affects individuals and entities filing court cases, including those involving forcible entry and detainer (set at $100), and establishes new funding streams: $6 for the Law Library Fund, $25 for the Court Information System, $5 for court-appointed advocates (OCASA), and $2 split between judicial complaints and interpreter services. The bill also allows counties to add up to $10 per case for courthouse security and includes a fee waiver process for indigent litigants who prove poverty through an affidavit. It takes effect November 1, 2025.
