The "Oklahoma Severe Weather Media Tracking and Research Regulatory Act of 2025" establishes a regulatory framework for professional severe weather trackers in Oklahoma. It defines key terms such as "professional severe weather tracker," "qualified media outlet," and "significant weather event," and outlines the criteria for vehicles used by these trackers, including specific markings and lighting requirements. The act mandates that Service Oklahoma create a licensing system for professional severe weather trackers, detailing eligibility criteria, application processes, and necessary documentation, such as proof of insurance and completion of an emergency driving course.

Additionally, the act allows licensed trackers certain exemptions during significant weather events, such as traveling on closed roads and disregarding traffic signals, provided they are using the appropriate vehicle markings and lights. Violations of the act can result in fines and revocation of licenses, while a new "Severe Weather Tracker Licensure Fund" is established to support the implementation of the act. The law is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
