Bill No. 401 aims to limit the liability of traffic control contractors and subcontractors who provide services to the Department of Transportation in Oklahoma. The bill introduces a new section to the Oklahoma Statutes, specifically Section 1239 of Title 69, which states that these contractors and subcontractors will not be held liable for personal injury, property damage, or death that occurs during the performance of their traffic control services, provided they are in compliance with all relevant safety regulations at the time of the incident.

The legislation is designed to protect traffic control professionals from legal claims as long as they adhere to the safety standards set by the Department of Transportation. This bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, following its passage in the Senate on March 26, 2025.
