HB 1076, the "Food Truck Freedom Act," streamlines operations for mobile food vendors (food trucks) in Oklahoma. It requires local authorities to recognize valid state licenses within five business days and prohibits them from imposing conflicting rules - such as extra permits, GPS tracking, fingerprinting, or limiting vendor numbers. Vendors may operate on private property with owner permission (including residential zones under specific conditions), in locations approved by local authorities, and must follow cleanliness rules like waste disposal and license display. The bill, signed into law on May 5, 2025, also limits health inspections to twice yearly (unless violations exist) and bans local fees for inspections.
