HB 3436 requires the State of Oklahoma and its agencies to verify that no child labor (as defined in Oklahoma Statutes Sections 71 and 72.1 of Title 40) was used in assembling electric vehicles or producing their components before purchasing them. This bill directly affects state agencies responsible for vehicle procurement, including departments and political subdivisions. The key provision mandates that manufacturers provide this verification as a condition for state EV purchases. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.
