SB 529 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Used motor vehicles; authorizing Oklahoma Used Motor Vehicle, Dismantler, and Manufactured Housing Commission to regulate used powersports vehicle dealers. Effective date.

SB 529 creates a new exemption for used powersports vehicle dealers (like motorcycle, ATV, or scooter sellers) in Oklahoma. It allows these dealers to apply annually to the Oklahoma Tax Commission for "exempt" status if they show their main revenue comes from selling such vehicles. The Tax Commission would then grant this exemption for one year and has authority to create rules for the program. This directly affects dealers selling used powersports vehicles who meet the revenue requirement, while excluding off-road-only vehicles sold by retail implement dealers.
