The bill amends the Oklahoma Vessel and Motor Registration Act by updating definitions and statutory language within Section 4002 of Title 63. Key modifications include the clarification of terms such as "certificate of title," which now specifies proof of ownership for a vessel or motor, and the correction of the term "John boat" to "Johnboat." Additionally, the definition of "kayak" has been revised to emphasize human muscular effort in propulsion, while 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 aligns with current practices and standards in the state of Oklahoma.
