OK HB2936

Property owners shall be reimbursed for reasonable attorney, appraisal, and engineering fees when a jury award exceeds the court-appointed commissioners' award by at least 15% (increased from 10%), when condemnation proceedings are abandoned, or when final judgment determines property cannot be acquired by condemnation

Landowners may demand a jury or nonjury trial to appeal damage assessments between 30-60 days after commissioners' report is filed, but only after parties have participated in good-faith settlement negotiations

Courts may award attorney fees and sanctions to either party if the opposing party failed to negotiate in good faith prior to trial

The Landowner's Bill of Rights is updated to include the right to demand a trial to appeal damage assessments in condemnation proceedings

Oklahoma Department of Transportation must provide annual reports to the Legislature and Attorney General on condemnation cases, including trial outcomes, attorney fee awards, and appeals
