A. All mobile food preparation vehicles operating within this

extinguishing system, such requirement shall apply to vehicles

including, but not limited to, vehicles utilizing electric energy,

liquefied petroleum gas, compressed natural gas, or a combination

thereof for cooking, provided that portable fire extinguishers are

installed and maintained in accordance with the most current version

of NFPA 10: Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers. A six-liter

Class K-rated, portable fire extinguisher is required for all

cooking equipment involving solid fuels, vegetable or animal oils

and fats, or a combination thereof. All portable fire extinguishers

shall be in clear view and immediately available for use.

B. All mobile food preparation vehicles utilizing, handling, or

transporting liquefied petroleum gas or any liquefied petroleum gas

system, equipment, container, apparatus, or appliance shall receive

and maintain a permit from, and be inspected annually by, the

Oklahoma Liquefied Petroleum Gas Administration or its employees, in

conjunction with the State Fire Marshal issuing an annual operation

permit decal to mobile food preparation vehicles.

C. The provisions in subsection A of this section shall expire

on January 1, 2026, and all mobile food preparation vehicles shall

comply with the most current adopted fire codes set forth by this

state.

D. Mobile food preparation vehicles shall be under the

jurisdiction of the State Fire Marshal for fire and life safety code

compliance and shall be inspected annually by the State Fire Marshal

to ensure compliance with the latest version of the state-adopted

minimum codes for fire and life safety as adopted by the Oklahoma

Uniform Building Code Commission. The State Fire Marshal shall

coordinate, at minimum, annual inspections conducted:

1. Within each of the four quadrants of this state; and

2. Twice within each county with a population exceeding four

hundred thousand (400,000) according to the latest Federal Decennial

Census.

E. Upon approval, the State Fire Marshal shall issue an

operational permit decal indicating that the vehicle meets the

minimum fire and life code requirements adopted at the time of

inspection.

F. Nothing in this section shall prevent:

1. The State Fire Marshal from enforcing the minimum fire code

requirements as allowed by law and revoking the operations of a

mobile food preparation vehicle for cause when such vehicle is

determined to be inherently dangerous to the health, safety, or

welfare of persons within this state;

2. A political subdivision from enforcing the event permits,

operational fees, land use regulations, zoning, or other ordinances

in relation to the operation of a mobile food preparation vehicle

within the boundaries of the political subdivision; or

3. The State Department of Health from licensing and regulating

mobile food preparation vehicles as provided by the provisions of

Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes and rules promulgated by the State

Commissioner of Health.

G. The State Fire Marshal may promulgate rules necessary to

implement the provisions of this section. Such rules shall have

uniform force and effect throughout this state and no political

subdivision or other agency shall enact or enforce any fire or life

safety code-related ordinances, rules, or other requirements for

mobile food preparation vehicles, except in a county with a

population exceeding four hundred thousand (400,000) according to

the latest Federal Decennial Census.
