The Oklahoma Courier Application Services Act was signed by the governor, ensuring individuals involved in local delivery services will not be regulated like the trucking industry by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission Authority. 

Senate Bill 999, authored by Sen. Micheal Bergstrom, R-Adair, would provide an exemption from regulations designed for for-hire motor carriers. These will no longer apply to light property carriers that utilize digital platforms for local deliveries like Uber Eats, Grub Hub, Door Dash and Amazon Flex. 

Under the measure, vehicles at or under 8,000 pounds and with a maximum of two axles will qualify as light property carrier vehicles. Qualifying companies participating in local delivery will be required to have a zero-tolerance drug and alcohol policy for drivers, and those drivers must provide a valid drivers license; proof of vehicle registration; and minimum age requirements.
