Motor vehicles; requiring motor carriers only tow insured trailers; requiring motor carrier make certain verification of insurance; effective date.

Summary

The bill amends Oklahoma law so that any motor carrier must have state‑approved liability and cargo insurance before a license is issued, and must verify that any trailer it hauls is covered by active insurance. Carriers must keep proof of this verification for at least two years and, if an uninsured trailer is involved in an accident, a rebuttable presumption of negligence applies unless the carrier can show it acted in good faith. The changes are intended to protect the public and the environment from damages caused by uninsured equipment.
