Insurance: clarifying certain responsibilities in relation to glass and injurious substances on highways; directing for remittance of certain payments. Effective date.
This Oklahoma bill clarifies that vehicle insurers must cover the cost of removing broken glass or hazardous materials from highways after accidents, provided the vehicle owner has minimum insurance coverage. It requires insurers to pay wreckers or towing companies directly for these removal services, using standard rates set by the Corporation Commission. Trucking companies must also maintain insurance covering roadway cleanup for spills or debris. The law applies to all vehicles where insurance covers these expenses, effective November 2025.
