HB 3662: Motor vehicles; limiting types of roads for certain enforcement; modifying area of enforcement around certain fixed facilities; effective date.

HB 3662 limits where commercial vehicle enforcement can occur near fixed facilities like weigh stations. It restricts enforcement to a 7-mile radius around standard weigh stations or a 25-mile radius around port-of-entry weigh stations once they are established. The bill also requires enforcement to stop in areas where facilities are planned but not yet built, ending by July 1, 2016, or when the facility opens. This directly affects the Oklahoma Corporation Commission’s roadside enforcement operations for commercial motor vehicles. The policy change aims to reduce duplicate inspections and clarify enforcement zones near fixed facilities.

HB 2772: Roads and bridges; Rebuilding Oklahoma Access and Driving Safety Fund; increasing apportionment; utilization; weigh stations; effective date; emergency.

HB 2772 creates the "Rebuilding Oklahoma Access and Driver Safety Fund" to provide dedicated state funding for transportation infrastructure. It mandates annual apportionments totaling $575 million for fiscal year 2021, increasing to $610 million annually starting in 2025, with $80 million allocated each year specifically for debt payments on transportation bonds before other uses. The fund must be used exclusively for constructing/maintaining state roads, bridges, highways, and related infrastructure - prohibited from replacing existing transportation funding - and requires annual oversight by the State Board of Equalization to prevent fund "supplanting." Additional smaller allocations ($2 million for the Heartland Flyer rail project and $3 million for public transit) are also specified within the funding structure. The bill became law on May 29, 2025, without the Governor's signature.

HB 2792: Progressing Rural Economic Prosperity Fund; declaring the fund a continuing fund; source; reappropriation of funds; emergency.

HB 2792 creates the "Progressing Rural Economic Prosperity Fund" (PREP Fund) as a continuing fund in Oklahoma, meaning it won't expire with fiscal years.

The law also allows the Legislature to reallocate funds as needed while preserving the original project allocations.
