SB 377 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Equipment contracts; modifying definitions; modifying certain prohibited actions; modifying certain consent requirements. Effective date.

SB 377 amends Oklahoma's Fair Practices of Equipment Manufacturers, Distributors, Wholesalers and Dealers Act to clarify definitions and update rules affecting equipment dealers. It specifically defines terms like "current net parts price" (the price for repair parts at agreement termination) and "current net parts cost" (price minus typical dealer discounts), directly impacting dealers who sell repair parts. The bill also refines the definition of "equipment" to include ATVs, agricultural machinery, and landscaping equipment (while excluding trailers and permanent fixtures), and modifies consent requirements for dealer agreements. These changes aim to standardize how dealers are compensated for parts and inventory when agreements end.
