Turnpikes; exempting residents of Oklahoma from certain tolls. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1662 exempts Oklahoma residents (defined as individuals with a valid Oklahoma driver's license or permit) from paying tolls on state turnpikes. The bill amends Oklahoma law to explicitly add "residents of this state" to the list of toll-exempt users, alongside law enforcement officers. Key provisions include defining residency requirements for toll exemption and requiring the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority to implement the change through necessary rules. This policy directly affects all Oklahoma drivers using turnpikes, eliminating their toll obligation upon presentation of a valid state license. The bill takes effect July 1, 2026.
