Transportation; prohibiting liability of traffic control contractors and subcontractors under certain circumstances. Effective date.

SB 401 prevents traffic control contractors and subcontractors from being held legally responsible for personal injury, property damage, or death caused by their work, provided they followed all Department of Transportation (DOT) safety regulations related to the incident. The law applies specifically to contractors working directly with Oklahoma's DOT on road construction projects. It creates a legal shield only when contractors were fully compliant with DOT safety rules at the time of the incident. This change directly affects contractors by limiting their liability in specific accident scenarios, without altering the DOT's safety standards.
