Bill No. 1749 amends existing legislation regarding mobile food preparation vehicles in Oklahoma, specifically focusing on fire code compliance. The bill modifies the entity responsible for issuing permits for these vehicles, transferring this responsibility from the Oklahoma Liquefied Petroleum Gas Administration to the Oklahoma Liquefied Petroleum Gas Board. Additionally, the Board is tasked with promulgating rules related to permit issuance and inspection requirements. The State Fire Marshal will now issue annual operation permit decals to mobile food preparation vehicles, ensuring they meet the latest fire and life safety code requirements.

The bill also establishes that all mobile food preparation vehicles must comply with the most current adopted fire codes by January 1, 2026, and mandates annual inspections by the State Fire Marshal. It clarifies that the State Fire Marshal has the authority to enforce fire code requirements and revoke permits if a vehicle is deemed dangerous. Furthermore, the bill allows local political subdivisions to enforce their own regulations regarding the operation of mobile food preparation vehicles, while ensuring that no conflicting fire or life safety codes are enacted by other agencies. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
