The bill amends Oklahoma laws concerning motor vehicle offenses, particularly focusing on Class D3 offenses. It expands the classification of Class D3 offenses to include violations related to agricultural and livestock regulations, such as those under the Oklahoma Agricultural Code and the Oklahoma Meat Inspection Act. A significant addition is the criminalization of knowingly displaying or manufacturing a fictitious license plate, which will also be classified as a Class D3 offense. The bill establishes a framework for penalties based on prior convictions, with specific sentencing guidelines for individuals with multiple Class C or D convictions.

Additionally, the bill streamlines legal language by removing references to "Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes" and replacing them with "this title," enhancing clarity and consistency in the statutes. It specifies that Class D3 offenses will not be subject to certain penalties outlined in Section 51.1, with exceptions for specific offenses. The bill also addresses unlawful acts related to vehicle registration, including the sale or alteration of titles and registration decals, and clarifies that certain self-propelled vehicles cannot be registered for public road use. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026, and includes provisions for fines and penalties related to the Oklahoma Vehicle License and Registration Act.
