OK HB2128

Amends Oklahoma law to cap noneconomic damages in civil actions for bodily injury at $350,000, down from $400,000, regardless of the number of defendants or claims filed.

Eliminates the cap on noneconomic damages when a defendant's conduct is found by clear and convincing evidence to be reckless, grossly negligent, fraudulent, or intentional/malicious.

Requires courts to enter separate judgments for economic damages (unlimited) and noneconomic damages (capped at $350,000 unless exception applies), with juries instructed to return findings on both categories.

Prohibits juries from being informed of the $350,000 noneconomic damages cap during trial proceedings.

Takes effect November 1, 2011 and applies only to civil actions filed on or after that date; excludes claims under the Governmental Tort Claims Act and wrongful death actions.
