Oklahoma SB158 establishes licensing requirements for professional severe weather trackers.
Oklahoma SB158, the Oklahoma Emergency Weather Response and Tracking Regulatory Act of 2025, creates licensing requirements for professional severe weather trackers. These trackers, employed by qualified media outlets or institutions of higher education, must maintain their license on file with their dean or director and display it on their vehicles. They must also provide proof of insurance for their vehicles. The bill defines a "significant weather event" and authorizes trackers to use visual signals and be considered emergency vehicles during such events.
