Bill No. 1789 amends existing laws regarding dealer sales responsibilities for recreational vehicles in Oklahoma. The bill introduces new provisions that allow dealers to conduct private off-premises sales events under specific conditions. For instance, a dealer promoting its own private sales event, where it is the sole participating dealer, is prohibited from conducting sales outside its designated area of sales responsibility. Conversely, dealers participating in sponsored off-premises sales events with other dealers are permitted to conduct sales activities both inside and outside their designated areas, provided they meet certain criteria, such as obtaining necessary permits and approvals from manufacturers.

Additionally, the bill outlines the conditions under which private recreational vehicle shows can be held, including limitations on the number of shows a dealer can participate in per year and the requirement for written approval from manufacturers. It also specifies that private shows must be held at approved locations and adhere to distance restrictions from other dealers. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025.
