House Bill No. 1751 amends various sections of Oklahoma's motor vehicle laws to enhance definitions, notice requirements, and credential regulations. A significant change includes the expansion of the definition of "state" to encompass "or territory" of Canada. The bill designates Service Oklahoma as the responsible entity for providing notices under the law, with specific provisions for mailing and addressing failures due to unreported changes. It also modifies the requirements for driver licenses and identification cards, allowing individuals to hold two types of credentials until expiration and mandating the surrender of certain credentials. Additionally, the bill introduces online and mail renewal options, clarifies the admissibility of blood and breath samples in tests for alcohol and drug influence, and authorizes Service Oklahoma to refuse vehicle title issuance.

Further amendments streamline the issuance and management of driver licenses and identification cards, including the introduction of a temporary identification card for applicants and a restricted commercial driver license for specific farm-related services. The bill establishes a fee schedule for various licenses and permits, with exemptions for certain age groups and disabled veterans. It also outlines the responsibilities of law enforcement regarding specimen collection and independent analysis, while re-establishing the Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence. The legislation aims to improve the efficiency of motor vehicle regulations, enhance compliance with federal standards, and ensure proper identification for individuals, including those released from incarceration. Overall, the bill seeks to modernize and streamline Oklahoma's motor vehicle laws.
