Summary

Oklahoma City Victims Compensation Act - Establishes a program to provide compensation to any individual (or relatives of a deceased individual) who was physically injured or killed as a result of the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on April 19, 1995.

Directs the Attorney General, acting through the Special Master appointed under the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001, to administer the program, requiring determinations of claims within 120 days and payment within 20 days of determination. States that such determinations are final and not subject to judicial review.

Limits claims to one per injured person or decedent and excludes claimants from pursuing civil action for damages, as specified.
