HB 4143 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Motor vehicles; modifying damage amount requiring a written report of collision; effective date.

HB 4143 increases the property damage threshold requiring a written report for motor vehicle collisions in Oklahoma from $300 to $3,000. This means drivers involved in accidents with damage under $3,000 (and no injury, death, or property damage beyond vehicles) can now exchange information without filing a report. Law enforcement must prepare written reports for collisions on public roads involving injuries, deaths, or damage of $3,000 or more (previously $500). The bill also updates confidentiality rules, keeping reports confidential for 60 days and restricting their use to prevent commercial solicitation.

MINOR

The bill was converted from the House floor version to the Senate floor version, primarily updating the document header and page numbering. The substantive legal text regarding traffic collision reporting requirements, damage thresholds, and confidentiality rules remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

The document title and header were updated to reflect the Senate floor version, including the date April 13, 2026, and new page footers indicating 'SENATE FLOOR VERSION'.

The layout of the bill title and sponsor information was adjusted to match Senate formatting standards, though the names of the sponsors (Manger and Hines) remain the same.
