Senate Bill No. 368 amends the Oklahoma Vessel and Motor Registration Act by updating definitions and statutory language within Section 4002. Key modifications include the clarification of terms such as "certificate of title," which now specifies that it serves as proof of legal ownership of a vessel or motor, and the correction of "John boat" to "Johnboat." Additionally, the definition of "kayak" has been revised to emphasize that it is propelled by human muscular effort, and the term "permanent number" has been updated to reflect the format assigned by Service Oklahoma or federally recognized Indian tribes.

The bill also introduces a new effective date of November 1, 2025, for these changes. Overall, the amendments aim to enhance clarity and consistency in the definitions related to vessels and motors, ensuring that the language used in the law is current and accurately reflects the types of watercraft and their operation.
