Court of Civil Appeals; modifying authority for review of certain decisions; directing assignment of certain appeals. Effective date.

SB 830 mandates that Oklahoma's Supreme Court must assign all civil appeals from district court decisions to the Court of Civil Appeals, removing the Supreme Court's discretion to retain such cases. This affects all civil litigants in Oklahoma, as their appeals will now automatically go to the intermediate court instead of potentially staying with the Supreme Court. Key provisions include prohibiting the Supreme Court from recalling assigned cases and guaranteeing parties the right to submit briefs and present oral arguments in Supreme Court reviews of Court of Civil Appeals decisions. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025, and does not alter the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction.
