This bill amends existing laws related to motor vehicle registration and penalties in Oklahoma. It establishes a mandatory seizure of vehicles that do not display proper license plates after sixty days from the expiration date of their registration or following a transfer of ownership. The bill also modifies the penalties for late vehicle registration payments, increasing the maximum penalty from $100 to $1,200, with an additional $100 penalty for each thirty-day period of non-registration. Furthermore, it introduces a three-percent discount for owners who register their vehicles within the two-month timeframe and a $20 discount for timely renewals during specific years of registration.

Additionally, the bill revises the structure of vehicle registration fees, maintaining a tiered fee system based on the age of the vehicle. It specifies that collected penalties will now be deposited into the Department of Public Safety Patrol Vehicle Revolving Fund instead of the General Revenue Fund. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2025.
