Clarifies responsibilities for removing glass and injurious substances from highways and directs insurers to remit payments for such removals.

Oklahoma SB980 amends existing law to clarify responsibilities regarding the removal of glass and other injurious substances from highways and related locations. It mandates that any person, wrecker, or towing operator removing a wrecked or damaged vehicle must also remove any glass or other injurious substances dropped on the highway. The bill requires these entities to maintain insurance covering cleanup costs for substances deposited in violation of the law. Additionally, it directs insurers to remit payments for removal claims to the company providing the removal service.
