What changed between versions
The age requirement for operating a low-speed electric vehicle or golf cart on public roads is explicitly set to at least 16 years old, and the operator must hold a valid Oklahoma driver license.
Golf carts operated on streets with speed limits of 35 mph or less must have a vehicle identification number, and converted golf carts registered as motor vehicles must meet federal safety standards with an exception for the 17-digit VIN requirement.
The bill clarifies that cities retain the authority to adopt ordinances further restricting low-speed electrical vehicles on certain city-owned streets to ensure public health and safety.
The document header was updated to reflect the Senate floor version, and the committee report attribution was changed from the House Commerce Committee to the Senate Aeronautics and Transportation Committee.
