The bill defines key terms such as "airbag," "counterfeit supplemental restraint system component," "nonfunctional airbag," and "supplemental restraint system." It prohibits the manufacture, importation, distribution, sale, or installation of counterfeit components, nonfunctional airbags, or any object that does not meet federal safety regulations for the specific vehicle. Violators of these provisions will face penalties as outlined in existing law.
The bill also includes a provision for codification, indicating that the new regulations will be added to the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 12-413.1 of Title 47. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025.
