This bill amends Oklahoma's laws regarding the issuance of commercial driver licenses, introducing stricter eligibility criteria and procedural requirements. It prohibits the issuance of Class A, B, or C commercial driver licenses to individuals disqualified under specific criteria and mandates that applicants must first obtain a commercial learner permit, which they must hold for at least fourteen days before applying for a license. Additionally, the bill expands the list of individuals ineligible for licensing, specifically excluding those on the Oklahoma Methamphetamine Offender Registry, and requires Service Oklahoma to verify applicants against this registry prior to issuing licenses.

The legislation also establishes new fees for various classes of commercial learner permits and licenses, with funds allocated to the General Revenue Fund, the Trauma Care Assistance Revolving Fund, and the Service Oklahoma Revolving Fund. It allows for the renewal of commercial learner permits for an additional 180 days at the same cost as the original permit and introduces a prorated fee structure for individuals aged 62 to 64, while exempting those aged 65 and older from fees for Class D licenses or motorcycle endorsements. The bill includes provisions for the retention of images from licenses and identification cards for law enforcement use and is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
