Section 1503 of this title.

B. Any motor vehicle, other conveyance, or motor vehicle part

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1456

C. Any motor vehicle, motor vehicle part, other conveyance,

tool, implement, or instrumentality is not subject to forfeiture

under this section by reason of any act or omission which the owner

proves to have been committed or omitted without the owner's

knowledge or consent.

D. 1. Seizing agencies will utilize their best efforts to

identify any seized motor vehicle or motor vehicle part to determine

ownership or the identity of any other person having a right or

interest in a seized motor vehicle or motor vehicle part. In its

reasonable identification and owner location attempts, the seizing

agency will cause the stolen motor vehicle files of the state police

to be searched for stolen or wanted information on motor vehicles

similar to the seized motor vehicle or consistent with the seized

motor vehicle part.

2. Where a motor vehicle or motor vehicle part has an apparent

value in excess of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00),

a. the seizing agency shall consult with an expert of the

type specified in paragraph 4 of Section 1502 of this

title,

b. the seizing agency shall also request searches of the

on-line and off-line files of the National Crime

Information Center (NCIC) and the National Automobile

Theft Bureau (NATB) when the state police files have

been searched with negative results.

E. A forfeiture of a motor vehicle, motor vehicle part, or

other conveyance encumbered by a bona fide security interest is

subject to the interest of the secured party where the secured party

neither had knowledge of nor consented to the act or omission

forming the ground for the forfeiture.

F. Property, described in subsection A of this section, seized

and held for forfeiture, shall not be subject to replevin and is

subject only to the order and judgments of a court of competent

jurisdiction hearing the forfeiture proceedings.

G. 1. The district attorney in the county where the seizure

occurs, or the attorney for the Oklahoma State Bureau of

Investigation (OSBI) in cases investigated by the OSBI, or the

attorney for the Department of Public Safety in cases investigated

by the Department shall bring an action for forfeiture in a court of

competent jurisdiction. The forfeiture action shall be brought

within sixty (60) days from the date of seizure except where the

attorney prosecuting the forfeiture in the sound exercise of

discretion determines that no forfeiture action should be brought

because of the rights of property owners, lienholders, or secured

creditors, or because of exculpatory, exonerating, or mitigating

facts and circumstances.

2. The attorney prosecuting the forfeiture shall give notice of

the forfeiture proceeding by mailing a copy of the complaint in the

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1457

forfeiture proceeding to each person whose right, title, or interest

is of record in Service Oklahoma, the Department of Public Safety,

the Federal Aviation Agency, or any other department of the state,

or any other state or territory of the United States, or of the

federal government if such property is required to be registered in

any such department.

3. Notice of the proceeding shall be given to any such other

person as may appear, from the facts and circumstances, to have any

right, title, or interest in or to the property.

4. The owner of the property, or any person having, or

claiming, right, title, or interest in the property may within sixty

(60) days after the mailing of such notice file a verified answer to

the complaint and may appear at the hearing on the action for

forfeiture.

5. The attorney prosecuting the forfeiture shall show at a

forfeiture hearing, by a preponderance of the evidence, that such

property was used in the commission of a violation of Section 1503

of this title, or was used or possessed to facilitate such

violation.

6. The owner of property may show by a preponderance of the

evidence that the owner did not know, and did not have reason to

know, that the property was to be used or possessed in the

commission of any violation or that any of the exceptions to

forfeiture are applicable.

7. Unless the attorney prosecuting the forfeiture shall make

the showing required of it, the court shall order the property

released to the owner. Where the attorney prosecuting the

forfeiture has made such a showing, the court may order:

a. the property be destroyed by the agency which seized

it or some other agency designated by the court,

b. the property be delivered and retained for use by the

agency which seized it or some other agency designated

by the court, or

c. the property be sold at public sale.

H. A copy of a forfeiture order shall be filed with the sheriff

of the county in which the forfeiture occurs and with each federal

or state department with which such property is required to be

registered. Such order, when filed, constitutes authority for the

issuance to the agency to whom the property is delivered and

retained for use or to any purchaser of the property of a title

certificate, registration certificate, or other special certificate

as may be required by law considering the condition of the property.

I. Proceeds from sale at public auction, after payment of all

reasonable charges and expenses incurred by the agency designated by

shall be paid to the general fund of the county of seizure, the

special agency account of the Oklahoma State Bureau of

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1458

Investigation, or treasury of the governmental unit employing the

seizing agency.

J. No motor vehicle, either seized under Section 1504 of this

title or forfeited under this section, shall be released by the

seizing agency or used or sold by an agency designated by the court

unless any altered, counterfeited, defaced, destroyed, disguised,

falsified, forged, obliterated, or removed vehicle identification

number is corrected by the issuance and affixing of either an

assigned or replacement vehicle identification number plate as may

be appropriate under laws or regulations of this state.

K. No motor vehicle part having any altered, counterfeited,

defaced, destroyed, disguised, falsified, forged, obliterated, or

removed vehicle identification number shall be disposed of upon

forfeiture except by destruction thereof, except that this provision

shall not apply to any such motor vehicle part which is assembled

with and constitutes part of a motor vehicle.

L. No motor vehicle or motor vehicle part shall be forfeited

under this section solely on the basis that it is unidentifiable.

Instead of forfeiture, any seized motor vehicle or motor vehicle

part which is unidentifiable shall be the subject of a written

report sent by the seizing agency to the Department of Public Safety

which report shall include a description of the motor vehicle or

motor vehicle part, its color, if any, the date, time and place of

its seizure, the name of the person from whose possession or control

it was seized, the grounds for its seizure, and the location where

the same is held or stored.

M. When a seized unidentifiable motor vehicle or motor vehicle

part has been held for sixty (60) days or more after the notice to

the Department of Public Safety specified in subsection L of this

section, has been given, the seizing agency, or its agent, shall

cause the motor vehicle or motor vehicle part to be sold at public

sale to the highest bidder. Notice of the time and place of sale

shall be posted in a conspicuous place for at least thirty (30) days

prior to the sale on the premises where the motor vehicle or motor

vehicle part has been stored.

N. When a seized unidentifiable motor vehicle or motor vehicle

part has an apparent value of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) or

less, the seizing agency shall authorize the disposal of the motor

vehicle or motor vehicle part, provided that no such disposition

shall be made less then sixty (60) days after the date of seizure.

O. The proceeds of the public sale of an unidentifiable motor

vehicle or motor vehicle part shall be deposited in the special

agency account of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, or

treasury of the governmental unit employing the seizing agency after

deduction of any reasonable and necessary towing and storage

charges.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1459

P. Seizing agencies will utilize their best efforts to arrange

for the towing and storing of motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts

in the most economical manner possible. In no event shall the owner

of a motor vehicle or a motor vehicle part be required to pay more

than the minimum reasonable costs of towing and storage.

Q. A seized motor vehicle or motor vehicle part that is neither

forfeited nor unidentifiable shall be held subject to the order of

the court in which the criminal action is pending or, if a request

for its release from such custody is made until the district

attorney has notified the defendant or the defendant's attorney of

such request and both the prosecution and defense have been afforded

a reasonable opportunity for an examination of the property to

determine its true value and to produce or reproduce, by photographs

or other identifying techniques, legally sufficient evidence for

introduction at trial or other criminal proceedings. Upon

expiration of a reasonable time for the completion of the

examination which in no event shall exceed fourteen (14) days from

the date of service upon the defense of the notice of request for

return of property as provided herein, the property shall be

released to the person making such request after satisfactory proof

of such person's entitlement to the possession thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon application by either party with

notice to the other, the court may order retention of the property

if it determines that retention is necessary in the furtherance of

justice.

R. When a seized vehicle is forfeited, restored to its owner,

or disposed of as unidentifiable, the seizing agency shall retain a

report of the transaction for a period of at least one (1) year from

the date of the transaction.

S. When an applicant for a certificate of title or salvage

certificate presents to Service Oklahoma proof that the applicant

purchased or acquired a motor vehicle at a public sale conducted

pursuant to this section and such fact is attested to by the seizing

agency, Service Oklahoma shall issue a certificate of title, salvage

certificate for the motor vehicle upon receipt of the statutory fee,

properly executed application for a certificate of title, or other

certificate of ownership, and the affidavit of the seizing agency

that a state-assigned number was applied for and affixed to the

motor vehicle prior to the time that the motor vehicle was released

by the seizing agency to the purchaser.

trailer dealer, subsequently referred to in this section as

“dealer”, the dealer shall affix a used dealer’s plate visible from

the rear of the vehicle, travel trailer or commercial trailer. Such

license plate shall expire on December 31 of each year. When the

vehicle, travel trailer or commercial trailer is parked on the

dealer’s licensed place of business, it shall not be required to

have a license plate of any kind affixed. A dealer shall obtain

from Service Oklahoma at a cost of Ten Dollars ($10.00) a dealer

license plate for demonstrating, transporting or any other normal

business of a dealer including use by an individual holding a valid

salesperson’s license issued by the Oklahoma Used Motor Vehicle,

operates a wrecker or towing service licensed pursuant to Sections

951 through 957 of this title shall register each wrecker vehicle

and display a wrecker license plate on each vehicle as required by

Section 1134.3 of this title. A dealer may obtain as many

additional license plates as may be desired upon the payment of Ten

Dollars ($10.00) for each additional license plate. Use of the used

dealer license plate by a licensed dealer for other than the

purposes as set forth herein shall constitute grounds for revocation

of the dealer’s license. Service Oklahoma shall design the official

used dealer license plate to include the used dealer’s license

number issued to him or her each year by Service Oklahoma or the

Oklahoma Used Motor Vehicle, Dismantler, and Manufactured Housing

Commission.

B. Upon the purchase or transfer of ownership of an out-of-

licensed dealer, the dealer shall make application for an Oklahoma

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1401

certificate of title pursuant to the Oklahoma Vehicle License and

Registration Act, Section 1101 et seq. of this title. Upon receipt

of the Oklahoma certificate of title, the dealer shall follow the

procedure as set forth in subsection A of this section. Provided,

nothing in this title shall be construed as requiring a dealer to

register a used motor vehicle, travel trailer or commercial trailer

purchased in another state which will not be operated or sold in

this state.

C. Upon sale or transfer of ownership of the used motor vehicle

or travel trailer, the dealer shall place upon the reassignment

portion of the certificate of title a tax stamp issued by the county

treasurer of the county in which the dealer has his or her primary

place of business. The tax stamp shall be issued upon payment of a

fee of Three Dollars and fifty cents ($3.50) and shall be in lieu of

the dealer’s ad valorem tax on the inventories of used motor

vehicles or travel trailers but shall not relieve any other property

of the dealer from ad valorem taxation.

another licensed dealer, the selling dealer shall place the tax

stamp required in subsection C of this section upon the certificate

provided in subsection A of this section; provided, for vehicles,

travel trailers or commercial trailers purchased by a licensed used

dealer at an auction, in lieu of such placement of the dealer

license plate, the auction may provide temporary documentation as

approved by the Director of the Motor Vehicle Division of Service

Oklahoma for the purpose of transporting such vehicle to the

purchaser’s point of destination. Such temporary documentation

shall be valid for two (2) days following the date of sale.

E. The purchaser of every used motor vehicle, travel trailer or

commercial trailer, except as otherwise provided by law, shall

obtain registration and title for the vehicle or trailer within two

(2) months from the date of purchase of same. It shall be the

responsibility of the selling dealer to place a temporary license

plate, in size similar to the permanent Oklahoma license plate but

of a weatherproof plastic-impregnated substance approved by the

Oklahoma Used Motor Vehicle, Dismantler, and Manufactured Housing

Commission, upon a used motor vehicle, travel trailer or commercial

trailer when a transaction is completed for the sale of said

vehicle. The temporary license plate under this subsection shall be

placed at the location provided for the permanent motor vehicle

license plate. The temporary license plate shall show the license

number which is issued to the dealer each year by Service Oklahoma

or the Oklahoma Used Motor Vehicle, Dismantler, and Manufactured

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1402

Housing Commission, the date the used motor vehicle, travel trailer

or commercial trailer was purchased and the company name of the

selling dealer. The Oklahoma Used Motor Vehicle, Dismantler, and

Manufactured Housing Commission is hereby directed to develop the

temporary license plate design to incorporate these requirements in

a manner that will permit law enforcement personnel to readily

identify the dealer license number and date of the vehicle purchase.

The Oklahoma Used Motor Vehicle, Dismantler, and Manufactured

Housing Commission is hereby authorized to develop additional

requirements and parameters as deemed appropriate to discourage or

prevent illegal duplication and use of the temporary license plate.

Such temporary license plate shall be valid for a period of thirty

(30) days from the date of purchase. Use of the temporary license

by a dealer for other than the purposes set forth herein shall

constitute grounds for revocation of the dealer’s license to conduct

business. Purchasers of a commercial trailer shall affix the

temporary license plate to the rear of the commercial trailer. The

purchaser shall display the temporary license plate for a period not

to exceed two (2) months or until registration and title are

obtained as provided in this section.

The provisions of this subsection on temporary licenses shall

apply to nonresidents who purchase a used motor vehicle, travel

trailer or commercial trailer within this state that is to be

licensed in another state. The nonresident purchaser shall be

allowed to operate the vehicle or trailer within the state with a

temporary license plate for a period not to exceed two (2) months

from date of purchase. Any nonresident purchaser found to be

operating a used motor vehicle, travel trailer or commercial trailer

within this state after two (2) months shall be subject to the

registration fees of this state upon the same terms and conditions

applying to residents of this state.

F. It shall be unlawful for any dealer to procure the

registration and licensing of any used motor vehicle, travel trailer

or commercial trailer sold by the dealer or to act as the agent for

the purchaser in the procurement of the registration and licensing

of the purchaser’s used vehicle, travel trailer or commercial

trailer. A license of any dealer violating the provision of this

section may be revoked.

G. Dealers following the procedure set forth herein shall not

be required to register vehicles, travel trailers or commercial

trailers to which this section applies, nor will the registration

fee otherwise required be assessed. Provided, dealers shall not

purchase or trade for a used motor vehicle, travel trailer or

commercial trailer on which the registration therefor has been

expired for a period exceeding two (2) months without obtaining

current registration therefor.
