HB 1384 requires Oklahoma's Department of Transportation (DOT) to mandate post-installation inspections for storm pipes that fail structural tests before installation. Contractors must pay for these inspections, conducted by DOT-approved engineers or inspectors, to verify structural integrity, proper bedding, joint alignment, and absence of defects like cracks. If pipes fail inspection, contractors must cover corrective actions such as replacement or reinforcement. The DOT will create rules for implementation, and the law takes effect November 1, 2025. This directly affects construction contractors working on storm pipe projects across Oklahoma.
