House Bill No. 1789 amends Section 596.3 of the Oklahoma motor vehicle laws to clarify dealer sales responsibilities and establish new regulations for off-premises sales events. The bill introduces an exemption for areas within municipal, county, or state-owned facilities from manufacturer-designated sales responsibilities for the purpose of sponsored off-premises sales events. It also specifies that dealers promoting their own private off-premises sales events must be the sole participating dealer and outlines conditions under which dealers can conduct sales activities at both sponsored and private recreational vehicle shows.

Additionally, the bill details the requirements for obtaining permits for these events, including fees and conditions for participation. It allows dealers to display recreational vehicles for promotional purposes at off-premises events without conducting sales activities. The legislation also mandates that dealer agreements include a designated principal and allows for succession planning. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2025.
