Senate Bill No. 487 amends Section 804 of Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the qualifications for driver education instructors. The bill mandates that Service Oklahoma, in collaboration with the Department of Public Safety, establish rules outlining the requirements for obtaining an instructor's license. These requirements will cover aspects such as moral character, physical condition, knowledge of motor vehicle laws, and other relevant factors to ensure public safety.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions that allow Service Oklahoma, in conjunction with the State Department of Rehabilitation Services, to create rules enabling individuals who are unable to operate unmodified vehicles due to injury, disability, or other circumstances to receive instruction on operating modified vehicles. This change aims to enhance accessibility for those with specific needs in driver education. The bill also declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
