The bill amends Section 1113 of the Oklahoma Vehicle License and Registration Act, introducing updates to the vehicle registration and license plate requirements. It clarifies the issuance process for license plates and decals for various vehicle types, including all-terrain vehicles, utility vehicles, motorcycles, and military surplus vehicles. A significant addition is the provision for Service Oklahoma to issue a temporary tag for out-of-state owners of street-legal utility vehicles, which will act as a substitute for registration in Oklahoma. Additionally, the bill designates that a traffic stop based solely on the visibility of the license plate or decal due to a decorative frame will be considered a secondary offense.

The bill also mandates that Service Oklahoma issue decals to county treasurers for manufactured home owners, allowing them to obtain an annual decal upon presenting a valid ad valorem tax receipt. It requires Service Oklahoma to collect specific information when registering a manufactured home for the first time or when previous registration details are incomplete, including the owner's name, the home's serial number, and its location. This information will be entered into a computer data system accessible to county assessors to aid in the accurate assessment of manufactured homes for ad valorem taxation. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
