AI Summary
This bill modifies the definition and registration requirements for military surplus vehicles in Oklahoma. Specifically, it updates the definition of a military surplus vehicle to include vehicles manufactured for use in the United States Armed Forces or NATO countries that have been authorized for civilian sale, removes the previous age restriction, and requires these vehicles to be registered beginning November 1, 2025. The bill provides a specific exemption for owners of military surplus vehicles who were unable to obtain registration between November 1, 2022, and the act's effective date, ensuring they will not be assessed any penalties for expired registration. The legislation also clarifies that these vehicles must meet certain safety equipment standards, cannot transport people for hire, and must comply with existing vehicle equipment regulations. The bill aims to provide clarity and flexibility for owners of military surplus vehicles while ensuring they meet basic registration and safety requirements, with the new provisions taking effect on November 1, 2025.
