Bill No. 1684 amends the definition of "military surplus vehicle" in Oklahoma law, specifically addressing the criteria for registration and operation of these vehicles on public roads. The bill clarifies that a military surplus vehicle is defined as any motor vehicle with three axles or fewer, manufactured for use by the U.S. Armed Forces or NATO countries, and subsequently authorized for civilian sale. It also specifies that these vehicles must meet safety equipment requirements and mandates that they be registered by November 1, 2025.

Additionally, the bill introduces a provision that exempts military surplus vehicles from fines if they were unable to be tagged due to the previous thirty-five-year age requirement. This change aims to facilitate the registration process for these vehicles and ensure compliance with safety regulations while providing leniency for those affected by the prior age stipulation. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2025.
