Revenue and taxation; coin-operated vending devices; exemption; effective date.
HB 1471 exempts certain coin-operated vending devices from licensing fees under Oklahoma law. It specifically adds a new exemption for devices manufactured before January 1, 2000, that dispense entertainment (like games or music) for $0.50 or less per play, provided they do not involve gambling - defined as outcomes based solely on chance without requiring skill. This directly affects owners of older, low-cost entertainment devices in locations like convenience stores or arcades. The bill does not change existing exemptions for devices in schools, churches, military bases, or those selling newspapers, postage, or periodicals. The exemption takes effect November 1, 2025.
