Bill > HB3148

This bill modifies Oklahoma's laws regarding motor vehicle titles and inspections, primarily by defining "unidentifiable" vehicles, which are those whose unique identity cannot be established by trained law enforcement or theft prevention personnel, and by expanding the types of entities, including salvage pools, that are authorized to possess vehicles with altered or missing vehicle identification numbers (VINs) for insurance company inspections. It also introduces new requirements for inspections at salvage pools, salvage disposal sales, and auctions, allowing these entities, licensed dealers, or dismantlers to conduct inspections, with specific fee structures for different inspectors, and clarifies that certain out-of-state vehicles sold at dealer-only auctions are exempt from inspection unless purchased by an Oklahoma-licensed dealer. Furthermore, the bill outlines potential punitive actions, such as suspension or revocation of licenses and fines, for non-compliance with inspection requirements or falsification of inspection forms, and sets an effective date of November 1, 2026.
