The bill amends Oklahoma's driver licensing laws, particularly for individuals under eighteen, by allowing certain persons to apply for a learner permit and requiring Service Oklahoma to facilitate this process through agreements. A significant new provision permits individuals aged fourteen to sixteen who live or work on a farm to apply for a farm permit, enabling them to operate Class D motor vehicles under specific conditions. The bill also revises the requirements for obtaining intermediate Class D licenses and Class D licenses, adjusting waiting periods and conditions based on traffic offense convictions. Additionally, it emphasizes adult-supervised driving hours and imposes restrictions on farm permit holders regarding passenger limits and the use of wireless communication devices while driving.

Moreover, the bill updates driver education and licensing regulations by defining "handheld" electronic devices and mandating that driver education courses cover the dangers of texting while driving and the effects of intoxicating substances. It allows Service Oklahoma to authorize third parties, such as educational institutions and commercial driver training schools, to serve as approved proctors for written examinations. The bill also sets requirements for designated examiners, including training and certification, and establishes a fee structure for their certification. It mandates annual criminal background checks for designated examiners and applicants, with costs covered by the individuals, and requires the Department of Public Safety to adopt a curriculum for third-party examiners. The changes are set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
