This bill amends the Oklahoma Motor Carrier Safety and Hazardous Materials Transportation Act by allowing certain types of business entities, such as corporations, limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships, and partnerships, to be represented in administrative hearings by an officer, member, manager, or partner of the entity. This provision is included in a new section to be codified as Section 230.19 of Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes. The bill specifies that this representation is permitted if the motor carrier opts not to be represented by an attorney.

The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2026. This change aims to provide more flexibility for motor carriers during administrative hearings, potentially reducing the need for legal representation and streamlining the process for these entities.
