Bill > SB1772

This bill updates Oklahoma's laws regarding motor vehicle lighting, primarily by clarifying when vehicle lights must be used and by making minor adjustments to existing statutes. The key change is that vehicle lights are now required not only from sunset to sunrise but also at any other time when a vehicle's windshield wipers are in use due to bad weather, or when visibility is poor enough that people and vehicles on the road cannot be clearly seen from 1,000 feet away. The bill also updates references to federal regulations and clarifies definitions for various types of vehicle lamps, such as auxiliary driving lamps and fog lamps, and specifies their usage conditions. Additionally, it outlines lighting requirements for bicycles, stating they need a white light visible from 1,000 feet to the front and a red light visible from 1,000 feet to the rear, with exceptions for bicycles on roads with speed limits of 25 mph or less. The bill also mandates reflective material on bicycles for side visibility. This legislation is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
