This bill amends Section 11-403.1 of Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which addresses the penalties for failure to yield that results in fatality or great bodily injury. It establishes that individuals convicted of such violations will be required to pay a fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), which will be deposited into the Motorcycle Safety and Education Program Revolving Fund. The bill also clarifies the definition of "great bodily injury" and introduces a new provision for those causing serious bodily injury, who will also face the same fee. The funds collected will be used to promote public awareness regarding the dangers of impaired driving and to enhance motorcycle safety and defensive driving education for youth.

Additionally, the bill grants courts the discretion to impose further penalties on offenders, which may include a remedial driving course, a 90-day suspension of their driver’s license, or restitution payments ranging from Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00) to Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00). The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025.
