Bill > SB608

This bill creates the Oklahoma Wrecker and Towing Advisory Board within the Department of Public Safety, establishing a seven-member board composed of five members appointed by the Department of Public Safety from the wrecker or towing industry (specifically those licensed for nonconsensual towing) and two members appointed by the Corporation Commission (one from vehicle repossession and one from the insurance industry). Board members must be legal residents of Oklahoma and will serve staggered initial terms of one to four years, with subsequent terms lasting three years. The board will be responsible for serving in an advisory capacity to the Department of Public Safety and Corporation Commission, helping develop rules and standards for the wrecker and towing industry, and recommending policies to improve industry efficiency and safety. The board will elect a chair and vice chair annually, hold regular meetings, and require a quorum of four members to conduct business. The board can designate regular and special meetings, with the chair or vice chair having the authority to call meetings with at least five days' notice. The act will become effective on November 1, 2025, and is officially titled the "Oklahoma Wrecker and Towing Advisory Board Act of 2025."
