The bill amends existing laws regarding vehicle accidents in Oklahoma, specifically Sections 10-103 and 10-106 of Title 47. It expands the criteria under which a driver must remain at the scene of an accident or notify authorities, ensuring that the language is gender-neutral and updating statutory language for clarity. Notably, the bill specifies that a driver involved in an accident resulting in property damage must stop at the scene and fulfill certain requirements, with penalties for non-compliance including fines and potential imprisonment. Additionally, it introduces civil liability for damages equal to three times the value of the damage caused by the accident.

In Section 10-106, the bill requires drivers involved in accidents that only result in damage to property adjacent to public or private roads to take reasonable steps to notify the property owner and provide their contact information. Similar to Section 10-103, it establishes penalties for failing to comply with these requirements. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
