OK HB3444

County commissioners may assess road impact fees by majority vote on overweight or oversize vehicles associated with energy production, storage, or related equipment that require special permits

Fees must be calculated based on target ratio funding per mile and can be increased by 50% if the road is a school bus route, contains a deficient bridge, or the energy structures are within 1/4 mile of an occupied dwelling

Energy production equipment subject to Section 1001 of Title 68 (gross production tax) is exempt from these road impact fees

Collected fees must be applied to ad valorem tax the year following structure completion and can only be used for maintenance, repair, or construction of county roadways and structures

Fee payment does not exempt operators from county authority to restrict roadway use or from liability for damage caused by equipment movement; effective November 1, 2026
