Plain-English Summary

Section 3254 folds another piece of Oklahoma's ordinary subpoena rule into the interstate discovery act: subsection D of Section 2004.1 of Title 12 applies to subpoenas issued under Section 3252. That subsection governs matters like protecting a person from undue burden in responding to a subpoena, so a foreign-subpoena-based Oklahoma subpoena gets the same protections as a homegrown one.
