Bill > HB2159

This bill introduces new regulations regarding supplemental restraint systems (SRS) in motor vehicles, focusing on preventing the manufacture, distribution, sale, and installation of unsafe or counterfeit airbag components. The bill defines key terms such as "airbag" (an inflatable safety device for vehicle occupants), "counterfeit supplemental restraint system component" (a replacement part with an unauthorized manufacturer's mark), and "nonfunctional airbag" (a replacement airbag that is previously deployed, damaged, has an electric fault, or includes a misleading object). The legislation prohibits individuals from knowingly manufacturing, importing, distributing, selling, or installing replacement SRS components that are counterfeit, nonfunctional, or not designed in accordance with federal safety regulations for a specific vehicle's make, model, and year. Violations of these provisions will result in punishment as specified in Section 17-101 of Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes. The bill is set to become effective on November 1, 2025, and aims to enhance vehicle safety by preventing the use of substandard or fake airbag components that could compromise occupant protection during a crash.
