House Bill No. 2459 amends existing legislation regarding fire safety regulations for mobile food establishments in Oklahoma. The bill establishes that all mobile food preparation vehicles operating before July 1, 2024, which produce smoke or grease-laden vapors, must comply with the most current adopted fire safety codes. It specifies that these vehicles must have portable fire extinguishers installed and maintained according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, and introduces a requirement for a six-liter Class K-rated extinguisher for cooking equipment using solid fuels or oils. The bill also grants sole authority to the Oklahoma State Fire Marshal for inspections and compliance enforcement, with annual inspections mandated to ensure adherence to safety codes.

Additionally, the bill extends the provisions related to fire safety for mobile food establishments until July 1, 2026, at which point all vehicles must comply with the latest codes. It allows the State Fire Marshal to issue operational permits and enforce compliance, including the ability to revoke permits if a vehicle is deemed dangerous. The legislation also clarifies that local political subdivisions retain the authority to enforce their own event permits and regulations concerning mobile food preparation vehicles, while ensuring that state fire safety rules are uniformly applied across Oklahoma. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
