HB1348 is a short transportation bill that repeals three sections of Oklahoma law—69 O.S. 2021, Sections 1930, 1931, and 1932—which together establish the Oklahoma Road User Charge Program. The measure does not create a new program or amend the repealed provisions; it simply removes the statutory authority for that program from the Oklahoma statutes.
The bill is effective November 1, 2025. If enacted, it would eliminate the existing legal framework for the Road User Charge Program, which is generally associated with mileage-based road user charging concepts as an alternative or supplement to fuel taxes. The practical effect would be to end the program’s statutory basis and any related administrative authority tied to those sections.
Impact
HB1348 would repeal the Oklahoma Road User Charge Program statutes from Title 69, thereby removing the program from state law and ending any authority created by those sections for implementation or administration. The bill affects state transportation policy and any agencies, drivers, or stakeholders involved in road user charge planning or pilot activity under the repealed provisions.

There is limited recorded discussion or voting history available for HB1348, so the overall sentiment cannot be measured from committee debate or floor votes. Based on the bill’s text and referral status, it appears to be a straightforward repeal measure with no documented public compromise or amendment activity in the provided materials.
Contention
No committee transcript or vote record is provided, so specific points of contention are not documented. The likely policy divide, if any, would be between supporters of eliminating the Road User Charge Program and those who favor keeping mileage-based road funding options available as an alternative to fuel-tax revenue.
