HB 2160 modernizes Oklahoma's licensing and regulatory framework for new motor vehicle dealers and salespeople. It updates definitions (excluding powersport dealers from "new motor vehicle dealer" status), requires salespersons to work exclusively for licensed dealers, modifies license fees, and clarifies requirements for dealer registrations and franchise agreements. The bill also specifies procedures for license suspension/revocation and mandates physical posting of licenses at dealer locations. As enacted on May 29, 2025, it directly affects new vehicle dealers, their sales staff, manufacturers, and distributors operating in Oklahoma.
