Oklahoma HB1666 modifies the definition of "excavate" under the Underground Facilities Damage Prevention Act.

Oklahoma HB1666 amends the Oklahoma Underground Facilities Damage Prevention Act by modifying the definition of "excavate." The revised definition excludes certain activities from being considered excavation, such as moving earth by human or animal power, cultivation for agricultural purposes, and work by a public agency on preengineered projects. The act also defines "large projects" as those exceeding specified distances or durations. This legislation aims to clarify which activities require notification to underground facility operators to prevent damage.
