Committee backs raising salvage-title threshold from 60% to 70%

Representative Tedford presented Senate Bill 1920 to update salvage-title rules for vehicles. He said the bill raises the threshold for salvage titles from 60% to 70% of vehicle value, bringing Oklahoma closer to other states (cited examples: Arkansas 70, Kansas 75, Missouri 80) and helping avoid premature salvage designations that can harm policyholders. He moved the bill for passage.

The committee recorded a vote and the clerk reported '6 ayes, 0 nay.' The chair declared the bill passed and recommended it to the next committee.
