SB 876 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Civil procedure; providing time frame for which certain action related to sexual assault may be brought. Effective date.

SB 876 extends the statute of limitations for civil lawsuits seeking damages from sexual assault survivors in Oklahoma. It allows victims to file such claims within four years after leaving the abuser's dependency or discovering the injury and its link to the abuse - whichever happens later. This applies to cases defined under Oklahoma Statutes Section 142.20, covering intentional sexual assault. The bill directly affects adult survivors seeking civil remedies, providing a clear timeframe for filing lawsuits without requiring proof of which specific assault caused harm. It becomes effective November 1, 2025.
