Bill > HB2297

This bill amends Oklahoma's driver license reciprocity laws by requiring Service Oklahoma (the state's department responsible for driver licensing) to enter into a specific reciprocity agreement with Ireland for driver licenses. The bill expands existing provisions that allow nonresidents to operate motor vehicles in Oklahoma if they have a valid driver license from their home state or country. Under the new provision, Service Oklahoma must establish driver license standards that are comparable between Oklahoma and Ireland, and Irish drivers operating in Oklahoma will need to comply with the state's motor vehicle liability insurance and financial responsibility laws. The bill also maintains existing provisions related to nonresident and military personnel driving privileges, and includes provisions about automated driving systems. The changes will become effective on November 1, 2025, giving Service Oklahoma time to develop and implement the new reciprocity agreement with Ireland.
