Bill > HB2713

This bill modifies Oklahoma's motor vehicle registration laws in two key ways. First, it reduces the timeframe for potential vehicle seizure from 90 to 60 days after registration expiration, and expands the seizure provisions to include vehicles with ownership transfers. Law enforcement can now seize vehicles that are not properly registered, and these vehicles will not be released until all fees, penalties, and storage costs are paid in full. Second, the bill changes the penalty structure for late vehicle registration, replacing the previous $1 per day penalty (with a $100 maximum) with a new penalty scheme that imposes an initial $100 penalty, followed by additional $100 penalties every 30 days until registration is completed, with a maximum total penalty of $300. The distribution of these penalties is also modified, with more funds now being allocated to specific entities like local licensed operators and the General Revenue Fund. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, emphasizing the urgent nature of these motor vehicle registration changes.
