The bill amends the definition of "transporter" in Oklahoma's motor vehicle laws, specifically in 47 O.S. 2021, Section 1-181. The new definition clarifies that a transporter is any person engaged in the business of delivering vehicles that require registration from manufacturing, assembling, or distributing plants to dealers or sales agents. Additionally, it expands the definition to include those delivering vehicles from dealers or auto auctions to other dealers or auctions, as well as those dealing vehicles to a salvage pool that operates in accordance with specific regulations.
The bill removes the word "Every" from the previous definition and replaces it with "Transporter shall mean every," thereby formalizing the definition. The updated language aims to provide clarity and ensure that the definition encompasses all relevant activities related to vehicle transportation. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
