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 from manufacturing, assembling, or distributing plants to dealers or sales agents, as well as from the business locations of dealers, sales agents, or auto auctions to other similar entities. Additionally, the definition now includes those involved in dealing vehicles to a salvage pool that operates in accordance with specific regulations.
The bill also updates the statutory language for clarity and modern relevance. It is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, following its passage in the Senate on March 24, 2025.
