or serious injury of any person and is removed from the scene of the

accident to a hospital or other health care facility outside the

State of Oklahoma before a law enforcement officer can effect an

arrest.

2. A law enforcement officer, having reasonable grounds to

believe that such person was operating or in actual physical control

of a motor vehicle while under the influence may direct the

administration of or administer the test or tests.

As used in this title, the term "other intoxicating substance"

Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act and any other substance,

B. The law enforcement agency by which the arresting officer is

Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence, hereinafter referred to as the

Board, whether blood or breath is to be tested for the alcohol

concentration thereof, and whether blood, saliva or urine is to be

tested for the presence or concentration of any other intoxicating

substance therein.

In the event that law enforcement agency does not designate the

test to be administered, breath shall be the substance tested for

alcohol concentration. Blood may also be tested to determine the

alcohol concentration thereof in the event that breath cannot be

tested to determine the alcohol concentration thereof because of the

lack of an approved device or qualified person to administer a

breath test or because such breath test for any other reason cannot

be administered in accordance with the rules of the Board.

In the event the law enforcement agency does not designate the

test to be administered, blood, saliva or urine shall be the

substance tested for the presence or concentration of any other

intoxicating substance or the combination of alcohol and any other

intoxicating substance.

C. In the event the person is incapable of submitting to and

successfully completing, by reason of illness or injury or other

physical disability, the test to be administered, an alternate test

may be administered in accordance with the rules of the Board.

D. Any person who is unconscious or otherwise incapable of

refusing to submit to a test of such person's blood or breath to

determine the alcohol concentration thereof, or to a test of such

person's blood, saliva or urine to determine the presence or

concentration of any other intoxicating substance therein, shall be

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 953

deemed not to have withdrawn the consent provided by subsection A of

this section, and such test may be administered as provided herein.

An unconscious person who has been issued a citation by a law

enforcement officer for one of the offenses listed in subsection A

of this section is arrested for purposes of this section. The

arresting officer must leave a copy of the citation with the

arrested person which may be accomplished by handing it to the

arrested person, or by leaving it with the personal effects of the

arrested party, so as to inform the unconscious person of the

arrest.

Any person who has been arrested for one of the offenses listed

in subsection A of this section who is unconscious or injured and

who requires immediate medical treatment as determined by a treating

physician may be released on the person's own recognizance for

medical reasons by the arresting officer. The arresting officer who

releases an arrested person on the person's own recognizance must

indicate the release on the face of the citation. Any person

released on his or her own recognizance for medical reasons shall

remain at liberty pending the filing of charges.

E. In addition to any test designated by the arresting officer,

the arrested person may also designate any additional test to be

administered to determine the concentration of alcohol, or the

presence or concentration of any other intoxicating substance or the

combination of alcohol and any other intoxicating substance. The

cost of such additional test shall be at the expense of the arrested

person.

A sufficient quantity of any specimen obtained at the

designation of the arrested person shall be available to the law

enforcement agency employing the arresting officer. Such specimens

shall be treated in accordance with the rules applicable to the

specimens obtained by an arresting officer.

F. When a law enforcement officer has determined that the blood

alcohol content of an individual is to be tested for the presence or

concentration of alcohol, other intoxicating substance, or the

combination of alcohol and any other intoxicating substance, the law

enforcement officer shall inform the individual to be tested that

the withdrawal of blood shall only be performed by certain medical

personnel as provided for in Section 752 of this title.

G. The results of the tests provided for in this title shall be

admissible in all civil actions, including administrative hearings

regarding driving privileges.

of injury or illness or for any personal reason other than the

acceptance of other employment, the member's membership in the

System shall not terminate and the period of such leave shall be

counted toward retirement for length of service if, during such

leave of absence or at the end thereof, the member shall pay to the

deducted from the member's salary during such period if such leave

of absence had not been obtained, but if such contributions are not

paid during such leave or made up within thirty (30) days after the

end of such leave, or if such leave of absence extends for more than

ninety (90) days at any one time, the period of such leave shall not

be counted toward length of service for retirement nor in computing

the amount of any pension or any retirement pay or any other

(b) In the event a member of the System obtains a leave of

absence for the purpose of accepting other employment, or if a

member resigns and during such resignation accepts other employment,

the member's membership in the System shall terminate as of the date

of the beginning of such leave. Provided, that if the membership of

a member of the System shall have been terminated either by such

leave of absence or by termination of employment, and such former

member is reemployed, the Board, upon application therefor made in

the same manner as an original application for membership in the

System, may reinstate such membership. Such reinstated member shall

be allowed full credit toward retirement for all service credit

accrued up to the time of termination of membership if, but only if:

years from the date of such termination of such membership;

2. Such reinstated member remains a member of the System for a

based upon length of service, any service in the Armed Forces of the

United States or any component thereof between the 16th day of

September, 1940, and the 30th day of June, 1954, and any service in

the Armed Forces of the United States or any component thereof upon

call of the President of the United States or of the Governor of the

State of Oklahoma, together with such prior service, as would have

been otherwise considered as service for retirement for length of

service, shall be considered as service for length of service,

provided that the member returns and files application for

reinstatement as a member of the System within ninety (90) days

after the member's release, or opportunity for release, from such

Armed Forces or component thereof. The member's employing agency

that is making contributions to the System on behalf of the member

shall continue payment of contributions into the pension fund, to

the same force and effect as though the member was in the actual

employment of such agency at the same salary for a period not to

exceed five (5) years. If such member shall have been refunded any

portion of the membership contributions as provided in Section 2-308

of this title, the member shall be required to reimburse the Fund

with the same amount at the time of the member's application for

reinstatement in the System, before the reinstated member is given

credit for accrued prior service. Provided, that in no event shall

a member of the System who has entered such Armed Forces or

component thereof prior to retirement be or become eligible for

retirement for length of service unless the member shall thereafter

have been reinstated as a member of the System as provided for

herein, and thereafter remained a member for at least one (1) year

after such reinstatement.

(d) Time spent on involuntary furlough by members pursuant to

the rules of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services shall

employer's contributions to the System for a member covered by

USERRA are due when such a member makes up his or her contributions

that were missed due to his or her qualified military service; and

2. Effective January 1, 2007, if any member dies while

performing qualified military service (as defined in Section 414(u)

of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), the survivors of

the member are entitled to any additional benefits other than

benefit accruals relating to the period of qualified military

service provided under the System had the member resumed and then

Status: in_force

The Driver License Compact is hereby enacted into law and

entered into with all other jurisdictions legally joining therein in

the form substantially as follows:

DRIVER LICENSE COMPACT

ARTICLE 1. FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF POLICY

(a) The party states find that:

(1) The safety of their streets and highways is materially

affected by the degree of compliance with state laws and local

ordinances relating to the operation of motor vehicles.

(2) Violation of such a law or ordinance is evidence that the

violator engages in conduct which is likely to endanger the safety

of persons and property.

(3) The continuance in force of a license to drive is predicated

upon compliance with laws and ordinances relating to the operation

of motor vehicles, in whichever jurisdiction the vehicle is

operated.

(b) It is the policy of each of the party states to:

(1) Promote compliance with the laws, ordinances, and

administrative rules and regulations relating to the operation of

motor vehicles by their operators in each of the jurisdictions where

such operators drive motor vehicles.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 975

(2) Make the reciprocal recognition of licenses to drive and

eligibility therefor more just and equitable by considering the

overall compliance with motor vehicle laws, ordinances and

administrative rules and regulations as a condition precedent to the

continuance or issuance of any license by reason of which the

licensee is authorized or permitted to operate a motor vehicle in

any of the party states.

ARTICLE II. DEFINITIONS

As used in this Compact:

(a) "State" means a state, territory or possession of the United

States, the District of Columbia, or the Commonwealth of Puerto

Rico.

(b) "Home state" means the state which has issued and has the

power to suspend or revoke the use of the license or permit to

operate a motor vehicle.

(c) "Conviction" means a conviction of any offense related to

the use or operation of a motor vehicle which is prohibited by state

law, municipal ordinance or administrative rule or regulation, or a

forfeiture of a bail, bond or other security deposited to secure

appearance by a person charged with having committed any such

offense, and which conviction or forfeiture is required to be

reported to the licensing authority.

ARTICLE III. REPORTS OF CONVICTION

The licensing authority of a party state shall report each

conviction of a person from another party state occurring within its

jurisdiction to the licensing authority of the home state of the

licensee. Such report shall clearly identify the person convicted;

describe the violation specifying the section of the statute, code,

or ordinance violated; identify the court in which action was taken;

indicate whether a plea of guilty or not guilty was entered, or the

conviction was a result of the forfeiture of bail, bond or other

security; and shall include any special findings made in connection

therewith.

ARTICLE IV. EFFECT OF CONVICTION

(a) The licensing authority in the home state, for the purpose

of suspension, revocation or limitation of the license to operate a

motor vehicle, shall give the same effect to the conduct reported,

pursuant to Article III of this Compact, as it would if such conduct

had occurred in the home state, in the case of convictions for:

(1) Manslaughter or negligent homicide resulting from the

operation of a motor vehicle;

(2) Driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of

intoxicating liquor or a narcotic drug, or under the influence of

any other drug to a degree which renders the driver incapable of

safely driving a motor vehicle;

(3) Any felony in the commission of which a motor vehicle is

used;

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 976

(4) Failure to stop and render aid in the event of a motor

vehicle accident resulting in the death or personal injury of

another.

(b) As to other convictions, reported pursuant to Article III,

the licensing authority in the home state shall give such effect to

the conduct as is provided by the laws of the home state.

(c) If the laws of a party state do not provide for offenses or

violations denominated or described in precisely the words employed

in subdivision (a) of this article, such party state shall construe

the denominations and descriptions appearing in subdivision (a)

hereof as being applicable to and identifying those offenses or

violations of a substantially similar nature, and the laws of such

party state shall contain such provisions as may be necessary to

ensure that full force and effect is given to this article.

ARTICLE V. APPLICATIONS FOR NEW LICENSES

Upon application for a license to drive, the licensing authority

in a party state shall ascertain whether the applicant has ever

held, or is the holder of a license to drive issued by any other

party state. The licensing authority in the state where application

is made shall not issue a license to drive to the applicant if:

(1) The applicant has held such a license, but the same has been

suspended by reason, in whole or in part, of a violation and if such

suspension period has not terminated.

(2) The applicant has held such a license, but the same has been

revoked by reason, in whole or in part, of a violation and if such

revocation has not terminated, except that after the expiration of

one (1) year from the date the license was revoked, such person may

make application for a new license if permitted by law. The

licensing authority may refuse to issue a license to any such

applicant if, after investigation, the licensing authority

determines that it will not be safe to grant to such person the

privilege of driving a motor vehicle on the public highways.

(3) The applicant is the holder of a license to drive issued by

another party state and currently in force unless the applicant

surrenders such license.

ARTICLE VI. APPLICABILITY OF OTHER LAWS

Except as expressly required by provisions of this Compact,

nothing contained herein shall be construed to affect the right of

any party state to apply any of its other laws relating to licenses

to drive to any person or circumstance, nor to invalidate or prevent

any driver license agreement or other cooperative arrangement

between a party state and a nonparty state.

ARTICLE VII. COMPACT ADMINISTRATOR

AND INTERCHANGE OF INFORMATION

(a) The head of the licensing authority of each party state

shall be the administrator of this Compact for his state. The

administrators, acting jointly, shall have the power to formulate

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 977

all necessary and proper procedures for the exchange of information

under this Compact.

(b) The administrator of each party state shall furnish to the

administrator of each other party state any information or documents

reasonably necessary to facilitate the administration of this

Compact.

ARTICLE VIII. ENTRY INTO FORCE AND WITHDRAWAL

(a) This Compact shall enter into force and become effective as

to any state when it has enacted the same into law.

(b) Any party state may withdraw from this Compact by enacting a

statute repealing the same, but no such withdrawal shall take effect

until six (6) months after the executive head of the withdrawing

state has given notice of the withdrawal to the executive heads of

all the party states. No withdrawal shall affect the validity or

applicability by the licensing authorities of states remaining party

to the Compact of any report of conviction occurring prior to the

withdrawal.

ARTICLE IX. CONSTRUCTION AND SEVERABILITY

This Compact shall be liberally construed so as to effectuate

the purposes thereof. The provisions of this Compact shall be

severable and if any phrase, clause, sentence or provision of this

Compact is declared to be contrary to the Constitution of any party

state or of the United States or the applicability thereof to any

government, agency, person or circumstance is held invalid, the

validity of the remainder of this Compact and the applicability

thereof to any government, agency, person or circumstance shall not

vehicle from the registered owner of any towed or stored vehicle,

the fee required by Section 904 of this title including

1. Each performance of a wrecker or towing service shall be

recorded by the operator on a bill or invoice as prescribed by rules

of the Department and by order of the Commission;

provided or caused to be provided wrecker or towing services to

require prepayment, in part or in full, or guarantee of payment of

any charges incurred for providing such services;

3. This section shall not be construed to require an operator

to charge a fee for the performance of any wrecker or towing

services; and

4. The operator is authorized to collect all lawful fees from

the owner, lienholder or agent or insurer accepting liability for

paying the claim for a vehicle or purchasing the vehicle as a total

loss vehicle from the registered owner of the towed vehicle for the

performance of any and all such services and costs to collect such

fees. An operator shall release the vehicle from storage upon

authorization from the owner, agent or lienholder of the vehicle or,

in the case of a total loss, the insurer accepting liability for

paying the claim for the vehicle or purchasing the vehicle where the

vehicle is assigned to the service call until the time it is

released from service either upon return to the premises of the

wrecker or towing service or upon being assigned to perform another

wrecker or towing service, whichever occurs first. When the hourly

rate is applied in lieu of distance towing rates, the operator may

not apply the two-hour minimum prescribed in subsection E of this

section nor may hookup or mileage charges, as prescribed in this

section, be applied.

Such distance rates shall be computed via the shortest highway

mileage as determined from the latest official Oklahoma Department

of Transportation state highway map, except as follows:

a. for distances or portions of distances not

specifically provided for in the governing highway

map, the actual mileage via the shortest practical

route will apply,

b. in computing distances, fractions of a mile will be

retained until the final and full mileage is

determined, at which time any remaining fraction shall

be increased to the next whole mile,

c. when, due to circumstances beyond the control of the

wrecker or towing service, roadway conditions make it

impractical to travel via the shortest route, distance

rates shall be computed based on the shortest

practical route over which the wrecker vehicle and the

vehicle it is towing can be moved, which route shall

be noted on the bill or invoice, or

d. when the wrecker or towing service is performed upon

any turnpike or toll road, the turnpike or toll road

mileage shall be used to determine the distance rates

charged and the turnpike or toll road fees may be

added to the bill or invoice.

2. Maximum distance rates shall be as follows:
