Committee advances bill making false vehicle tags a felony
Summary
House Bill 3268 would make knowingly displaying or manufacturing false or fictitious license tags a D3 felony (penalty described in transcript as up to two years); staff described the drafting change as cleanup related to title/section citations.
Representative George introduced House Bill 3268 after consulting with Oklahoma City police and the Corporation Commission, saying the measure responds to a growing problem with fake or fictitious license tags, including on commercial vehicles. He said "knowingly displaying or making a false or fictitious tag would be a d 3 felony with a penalty up to no more than 2 years, 0 to 2 years."
Representative Olson raised a drafting question about numerous penalty cross-references being moved into "this title," and staff/legal counsel explained this is drafting cleanup tied to recent reclassification and the mechanics of how newly enacted laws are cited and later amended. The committee recorded a do-pass recommendation for HB 3268.
