Manufacturer's or distributor's prevention or refusal to
Status: in_force

honor succession to dealership by legal heir or devisee of new motor

vehicle or new powersports vehicle dealer — Procedure.

A. For the purposes of this section, "designated successor"

means a person who the new motor vehicle dealer or new powersports

vehicle dealer has designated to take over operation of the

dealership or a legal heir or devisee under the will of a new motor

vehicle dealer or new powersports vehicle dealer or under the laws

of descent and distribution of this state.

B. Notwithstanding the terms of any franchise agreement, and

subject to the following conditions contained in paragraphs 1

through 5 of this subsection, any manufacturer or distributor who

prevents or refuses to honor the succession to the operation of a

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 822

dealership by a designated successor without good cause or good

faith, as defined in this section, shall be subject to the following

procedure:

1. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the death or

departure of the new motor vehicle dealer or new powersports vehicle

dealer, the manufacturer shall receive a written notice from the

dealership of the designated successor who intends to become the

successor dealership operator. If timely notice is not received,

this paragraph shall not apply, and any succession shall be governed

solely by the terms of the franchise;

2. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the dealership's

timely written notice, the manufacturer may request, and the

designated successor shall, within a reasonable time, provide any

information which is reasonably necessary for the manufacturer to

evaluate the designated successor dealer and dealership, including

applications and financing;

3. Within sixty (60) days of receipt of such information, the

manufacturer shall approve or disapprove the designated successor

dealer, and in case of disapproval shall communicate in writing such

disapproval and grounds for disapproval to the dealership;

4. Failure of the manufacturer to act in a timely manner with

respect to any time period described above shall constitute a waiver

of the manufacturer's right to disapprove the proposed succession;

and

5. Within ten (10) days of the dealership's receipt of the

manufacturer's notice of disapproval, the dealership may file a

protest of the manufacturer's decision with the Oklahoma New Motor

Vehicle Commission and request a hearing. Such hearing shall be

heard in a substantially similar manner as provided by Section 566

of this title, except that the Commission shall render a final

decision within sixty (60) days of the filing of the protest. The

manufacturer shall have the burden of proof to show that its

disapproval was for a good cause and in good faith. A denial shall

not be for good cause and in good faith unless the factory

establishes that the designated successor is not of good moral

character or fails to meet the written, reasonable, and uniformly

applied requirements of the manufacturer or distributor relating to

financial qualifications, general business experience, and other

requirements relating to prospective franchisees. However, a

designated successor who is a family member and who is of good moral

character in accordance with reasonable factory qualifications and

meets the factory's financial qualifications may rely on controlling

executive management that is of good moral character and meets the

factory's qualifications for general business experience. Any

denial of the designated successor based upon a failure to agree to

terms other than those contained in the existing franchise

agreement, related addendums and agreements, and any written notice

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 823

provided to the existing dealer prior to the manufacturer's or

distributor's receipt of any written notice from the existing dealer

of the proposed transfer shall not be considered good cause for such

denial. However, any proposed change to the franchise pursuant to

written notice from the manufacturer or distributor, to be valid,

must be in compliance with existing law. The disapproval by the

manufacturer shall be final if the dealership fails to file a timely

protest of the disapproval. In the event that the Commission finds

that the manufacturer's disapproval was not made for good cause,

then it shall issue a final order requiring the manufacturer to

honor the successor designated in the notice sent by the dealership.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, a new

motor vehicle or new powersports vehicle dealer may designate any

person as successor by filing a written instrument pursuant to the

franchise with the manufacturer during the new motor vehicle or new

powersports vehicle dealer's lifetime. In such a case, the written

instrument and franchise shall govern the dealership succession.

The suspension, revocation, or refusal to issue or renew a

license or the imposition of any other penalty by the Commission

shall be in addition to any penalty which might be imposed upon any

licensee upon judgment or conviction in a court of competent

jurisdiction for any violation of the provisions of Sections 561

through 567, 572, 578.1, 579, and 579.1 of this title.

prepaid, at the addresses furnished by Service Oklahoma or the

permits or authorization for any vehicle to be proportionally

registered in this state or which is currently proportionally

registered in this state under the provisions of the International

Registration Plan. Temporary permits may be issued for vehicles

added to the fleet, duplicate cab cards, corrected cab cards,

replacement license plates, adding jurisdictions, and weight

increases to established accounts in good standing. New accounts

may be issued temporary permits only after all fees are paid. Such

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1188

temporary permit or authorization shall authorize a vehicle to be

driven on the public roads of this state pending completion by the

Corporation Commission of an application for proportional

registration of such vehicle. The temporary permit or authorization

shall be recognized in lieu of registration in this state. The

temporary permit or authorization shall clearly indicate the date of

issuance and the date of expiration, which shall be forty-five (45)

days, including the day of issuance. The Corporation Commission may

enter into reciprocal agreements with other states for recognition

of temporary permits or authorizations.

The Corporation Commission may assign the temporary permits or

authorization to registrants subject to proportional registration

and such registrants may issue the temporary permits or

authorization as needed for the operation of vehicles that will be

operated as a fleet of proportionally registered vehicles.

Registrants shall be accountable for all temporary permits or

authorization assigned to them by the Corporation Commission and

shall be subject to audit by the Corporation Commission.

The Corporation Commission may enter into an agreement with any

person located within or without the state for the distribution and

issuance of temporary permits or authorizations for any vehicle

which is currently proportionally registered in this state under the

provisions of the International Registration Plan when the

Corporation Commission determines that such agreement is in the best

interest of the state. Any such person or corporation shall be

accountable for all temporary permits or authorizations assigned to

them by the Corporation Commission and shall be subject to audit by

the Corporation Commission.

The phrase “currently proportionally registered”, as used in

this section, shall be defined as any prorate account for which a

properly completed original application has been received by the

Corporation Commission and all corresponding and assessed fees have

been paid in full.

Self-issue temporary permits or authorizations may be issued to

a maximum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the size of the

registrant’s fleet, and any registrant with a fleet of fewer than

six vehicles may be assigned one self-issue permit.

An application shall be filed with the Corporation Commission

within fifteen (15) days to proportionally register any vehicle for

which a temporary permit or authorization has been issued.

Any registrant that has entered into such an agreement with the

Corporation Commission, that is unable to produce, or refuses to

produce, upon request by the Corporation Commission, any unissued

temporary permit or authorization assigned to such registrant, shall

be subject to the following penalty:

A fee of One Hundred Eighty Dollars ($180.00) which is an amount

equal to the fee for the number of seventy-two-hour temporary

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1189

permits, provided for in Section 1124 of this title, that would be

required for the operation of a vehicle for a forty-five-day period.

If, as the result of an audit, it is determined that any

registrant that has entered into such an agreement with the

Corporation Commission has used temporary permits or authorizations

to avoid payment of proportional registration fees, all remaining
