C. Any person or facility owner or operator intending to show

the closed-circuit telecast, whether or not an admission fee will be

charged, must receive authorization to show the telecast from the

telecast promoter prior to the telecast. The showing of a closed-

circuit telecast, whether or not an admission fee is charged,

without the authorization of the licensed telecast promoter is

prohibited. Delayed showing of a closed-circuit telecast also

requires the authorization of the telecast promoter. Information

received by the Commission of the names of persons showing a closed-

circuit telecast in violation of this section shall be furnished to

the appropriate district attorney's office for prosecution.

D. Any telecast promoter who willfully fails, neglects, or

refuses to make a report or cause to be paid the assessment as

prescribed, or who refuses to allow the Commission to examine the

books, papers, and records of any promotion is guilty of a

misdemeanor, punishable as provided by law. Any remitter who

willfully fails, neglects, or refuses to remit the assessment as

prescribed, is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable as provided by

law.

E. By rule, the Commission shall establish administrative

penalties as specified in the Oklahoma State Athletic Commission Act

for the late payment of assessments, noncompliance with the Oklahoma

State Athletic Commission Act, and the late filing of reports and

shall prescribe conditions, if any, under which a fine may be

waived.

person and having reasonable grounds to believe that such person was

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 and

concentration of any other intoxicant therein, shall be deemed not

to have withdrawn the consent provided by subsection A of this

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

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, any other

intoxicant or the combination of alcohol and any other intoxicant.

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

shall be treated in accordance with the same rules and regulations
