Motor vehicles; defining terms; prohibiting the manufacture, importation, distribution, selling, or installation of certain supplemental restraint systems; effective date.
HB 2159 prohibits the manufacture, sale, distribution, or installation of counterfeit or nonfunctional supplemental restraint system components (like fake airbags) in Oklahoma vehicles. It specifically bans devices that mimic genuine manufacturer parts without authorization, deployed/damaged airbags, or misleading objects posing as functional airbags. This law directly affects auto repair shops and parts sellers who might use or sell these unsafe replacements. The bill aligns with federal safety standards (49 U.S.C. § 301209(j)) to prevent vehicles from being equipped with parts that fail during crashes, ensuring occupant safety. The law took effect on November 1, 2025.
