Motor vehicle repair; creating the Oklahoma Motor Vehicle Consumer Protection Act; requiring certain written consent for certain service work; directing Insurance Department to adjust certain maximum daily storage rates. Emergency.

SB 784 creates Oklahoma's Motor Vehicle Consumer Protection Act, requiring repair shops to obtain written or documented verbal consent from customers before performing service work and providing detailed written estimates. It caps tear-down process fees at $65 per hour (max 4 hours) and limits administrative charges to the same rate, while setting specific maximum daily storage fees ($39-$55 depending on vehicle size) for the first 10 days. The bill directly affects motor vehicle repair facilities (garages) and consumers/responsible parties (including vehicle owners and insurance representatives) by mandating transparency in pricing and limiting certain fees. The Insurance Department must adjust the hourly rate every five years based on market conditions, starting July 2030.
