Oklahoma limits protections in certain lawsuits

Beginning November 1, 2025, the Oklahoma Citizens Participation Act does not apply to five types of civil cases. These cases lose the Act's special legal protections, while the Act continues to apply outside these exclusions. First, it excludes enforcement cases brought by the Attorney General or a district attorney in a state or local government's name. Second, it excludes certain cases against people mainly selling or leasing goods or services. The disputed statement or conduct must arise from those sales or leases, insurance products or services, or commercial transactions aimed at actual or potential customers. Third, it excludes bodily injury, wrongful death, and survival claims, plus cases involving statements about those claims. Fourth, it excludes cases brought under the Oklahoma Insurance Code or arising from an insurance contract. Fifth, it excludes specified cases arising from officer-director, employee-employer, or independent-contractor relationships. Those cases must seek recovery for misused trade secrets or corporate opportunities, or enforcement of non-disparagement, non-compete, non-disclosure, or confidentiality agreements.
