Oklahoma Underground Facilities Damage Prevention Act; modifying certain definition. Effective date.

SB 345 updates definitions in Oklahoma's Underground Facilities Damage Prevention Act to clarify what constitutes excavation, damage, and related terms. It specifically excludes small agricultural work (like postholes or shallow trenching), routine maintenance, and certain public projects from the definition of "excavation." This affects excavators, utility operators, and public agencies by providing clearer standards for preventing damage to underground utilities during construction. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025, and does not create new requirements but refines existing legal language.
