SB 122 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Department of Transportation; making an appropriation to the Weigh Station Improvement Revolving Fund. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 122 reallocates $10 million annually from specific vehicle fees to the Weigh Station Improvement Revolving Fund (instead of the General Revenue Fund), with the next $10 million going to the General Revenue Fund. It directly affects commercial vehicle operators who pay fees under Sections 14-116, 14-120, and 14-121 of Oklahoma’s transportation code, including minimum permit fees ($20), excess weight fees ($5), and other vehicle-related charges. The bill amends existing fee allocation rules to prioritize funding for weigh station improvements while maintaining the total annual fee amount. It becomes effective July 1, 2025, and is declared an emergency.

MODERATE

The bill was amended from a Weigh Station Improvement Revolving Fund appropriation to a fee apportionment scheme that directs specific fees to the Weigh Station Improvement Revolving Fund and others to the General Revenue Fund. The original version appropriated $9 million for a specific fiscal year, while the new version establishes ongoing fee apportionment rules with a $20 million threshold before fees flow to their original designated funds.

Scope change

The bill's scope changed from a one-time appropriation for a specific fiscal year to an ongoing apportionment mechanism that distributes fees based on thresholds and specific fee types.

FISCAL

Changed from a one-time $9 million appropriation for FY 2023 to an ongoing apportionment system where $20 million of fees go to the Weigh Station Improvement Revolving Fund and $10 million go to the General Revenue Fund.

Added specific fee apportionment rules: $20 per minimum permit fee, $5 per excess weight fee, $250 per overweight fee, and $120 per overdimensional fee.

Added threshold provision stating that fees exceeding $20 million will be apportioned according to the sections specified in the bill rather than the original appropriation amounts.

Removed the specific fiscal year limitation (ending June 30, 2023) and the fixed $9 million appropriation amount.
