Oklahoma HB1992 redefines certain vehicles involved in accidents as combination vehicles and sets fees for wrecker services.

Oklahoma HB1992 amends state law to classify certain vehicles involved in accidents as combination vehicles. It specifies that when an accident causes the separation of a truck tractor from its trailer, multiple trailers, or a truck tractor pulling another truck tractor, the truck tractor and trailer are considered a combination vehicle. The bill also mandates that officers report ownership and responsibility for wrecker fees. It sets maximum fees and charges for wrecker or towing services, including distance, hourly, and hookup rates, and allows for a fuel surcharge adjustment.
