Public nuisance; definition; remedies; cause of action; effective date.

HB 1121 clarifies Oklahoma's public nuisance law by stating that manufacturing, marketing, or selling lawful products cannot be considered a public nuisance. It requires courts to find a defendant "in control of the conditions" causing the nuisance to hold them liable, and mandates private individuals seeking damages must prove through clear evidence that the nuisance directly caused them special injury. This bill directly affects businesses selling legal products (preventing nuisance claims against them), private citizens filing lawsuits, and courts handling such cases by setting stricter standards for liability. The changes take effect on November 1, 2025.
