SB 487 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Driver education; requiring Service Oklahoma to promulgate certain rules. Emergency.

SB 487 requires Service Oklahoma to create specific rules for driver education instructors, directly affecting current and future instructors and students with disabilities needing modified vehicles. The bill mandates rules covering instructor qualifications (like moral character, knowledge of traffic laws, and physical fitness) and specifically requires new rules to allow instructors to teach students who require modified vehicles due to injuries or disabilities. Service Oklahoma must develop these rules in coordination with the Department of Public Safety and the State Department of Rehabilitation Services. The bill takes immediate effect due to an emergency declaration.
