Bill Summary
An Act relating to civil procedure; amending 12 O.S. 2021, Section 993, which relates to appeals from certain orders; authorizing certain appeal; requiring certain notice; requiring certain prompt decision; prohibiting certain stay of proceedings; and declaring an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to allow for immediate appeals of certain temporary court orders in cases involving the parent-child relationship, such as those concerning custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, and protective orders. Specifically, a party can now appeal these temporary orders within 20 days of them being signed, with a possible 10-day extension if good cause is shown, like lack of notice or legal representation. These appeals will be prioritized by the courts, which must expedite the process and make decisions as quickly as possible, though the appeal itself will not automatically stop the proceedings in the lower court unless the appellate court specifically orders a stay. This change is declared an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval to address pressing public needs.
