This bill establishes a new legal provision in the Oklahoma Statutes that protects traffic control contractors and subcontractors from liability for personal injury, property damage, or death that occurs during the performance of their services for the Department of Transportation. Specifically, the bill stipulates that these contractors will not be held liable if they are in compliance with all relevant safety regulations at the time of the incident that caused the injury or damage.
The new law will be codified as Section 1239 of Title 69 and is set to take effect on November 1, 2025. This legislative change aims to clarify the liability of traffic control service providers and encourage adherence to safety regulations by providing them with legal protection under specified conditions.
