Bill > SB1523

This bill amends Oklahoma's law related to noneconomic damages, which refer to damages not associated with economic loss, such as pain and suffering. The key provisions of this bill are: (1) it prohibits a party or their counsel from seeking or referring to a specific dollar amount, range, or mathematical formula for the jury to consider with respect to an award for noneconomic damages in a trial for the breach of an obligation not arising from contract; and (2) it sets an effective date of November 1, 2024 for these changes. This law aims to limit how noneconomic damages can be presented to juries in certain types of lawsuits in Oklahoma.
