HB 1384 requires Oklahoma's Department of Transportation (DOT) to mandate post-installation inspections for storm pipes that fail a structural test before installation. Contractors must pay for these inspections and any necessary fixes - like replacing or reinforcing pipes - to meet DOT standards. Inspections must verify structural integrity, proper installation, joint alignment, and absence of defects like cracks. The law takes effect November 1, 2025, and directs the DOT to create implementing rules.
