This bill amends Section 804 of Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the licensing of commercial driver instructors. It establishes that no individual may serve as an instructor without first obtaining a license from Service Oklahoma, following the procedures set forth by the agency. The bill mandates that the rules created by Service Oklahoma, in collaboration with the Department of Public Safety, will outline the necessary qualifications for obtaining an instructor's license, including moral character, physical condition, and knowledge of relevant laws and safety practices.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement for applicants seeking an instructor's license. Specifically, it stipulates that applicants must have either three years of verifiable commercial driving experience within the last ten years or three years of verifiable experience as an instructor at a commercial driver training school within the same timeframe. The bill also declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
