Motor vehicles; dealer sales responsibility; modifying requirements for certain off-premises sales; events; effective date.
HB 1789 modifies Oklahoma's motor vehicle dealer sales rules to allow off-premises sales under specific conditions. It permits dealers to sell recreational vehicles outside their designated sales area at two types of events: (1) sanctioned RV shows requiring 67% dealer participation within 60 miles and $200 event permits, or (2) private shows within the dealer's zone with $15 per vehicle permits, location restrictions, and manufacturer approval. The bill also clarifies that dealers may display vehicles for promotion at off-premises events without sales activity, but sales staff cannot attend. This law, effective November 1, 2025, directly affects Oklahoma recreational vehicle dealers participating in these events.
