The bill clarifies the requirements for motorcycle endorsements, particularly for applicants aged 17 or younger, who must complete a written examination, vision examination, and driving examination, along with a certified motorcycle basic rider course. Additionally, it establishes a fee schedule for both REAL ID Compliant and Noncompliant licenses and details the renewal and replacement processes.

Moreover, the bill modifies the fee structure for driver licenses, specifying allocations from fees collected for 4-year and 8-year licenses to various funds, effective November 1, 2022. It introduces a prorated fee for individuals aged 62 to 64 and exempts those aged 65 and older from any fees for license issuance or renewal. The eligibility criteria for fee exemptions for veterans are also updated, allowing active service members or honorably discharged veterans registered with the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs to be exempt from fees. The bill includes provisions for the retention and use of images from licenses by law enforcement and ensures that no individual holds more than one state-issued driver license or identification card. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
