House Bill No. 1789 amends existing laws regarding motor vehicle dealer sales responsibilities in Oklahoma. The bill introduces new provisions that exempt certain areas, such as municipal, county, or state-owned facilities, from manufacturer-designated sales responsibilities for the purpose of sponsored off-premises sales events. It also allows dealers to conduct sales activities outside their designated areas under specific conditions, including participation in sponsored recreational vehicle shows and private recreational vehicle shows. The bill outlines the requirements for obtaining permits for these events and specifies the conditions under which dealers can participate.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that dealers promoting their own private off-premises sales events must be the sole participating dealer and prohibits sales activities outside their manufacturer-designated areas. It also establishes guidelines for displaying recreational vehicles at off-premises events, stating that no sales activities are allowed during such displays. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025.
