HB 1266 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Motor vehicles; authorizing wrecking or towing service operators to call for certain assistance; effective date.

HB 1266 sets maximum fees for towing and wrecker services in Oklahoma based on vehicle weight and distance traveled. It establishes specific per-mile rates (ranging from $2.50 to $6.75) for transporting vehicles, with different tiers for light, medium, and heavy vehicles. Towing companies must charge these set rates when providing services requested by law enforcement or government agencies, and may also use hourly billing as an alternative. This directly affects licensed towing operators and vehicle owners who may be charged for towing services.
