Used dealer temporary license plate - Certificate of
Status: in_force

title - Tax stamp - Registration and title - Nonresident purchasers.

A. Except for vehicles, travel trailers or commercial trailers

which display a current Oklahoma license tag, upon the purchase or

transfer of ownership of a used motor vehicle, travel trailer or

commercial trailer, including an out-of-state purchase or transfer

of the same, to a licensed used motor vehicle dealer, wholesale used

motor vehicle dealer, used travel trailer dealer or used commercial

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

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1404

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

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

Dismantler, and Manufactured Housing Commission. Any dealer who

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-

state used motor vehicle, travel trailer or commercial trailer to a

licensed dealer, the dealer shall make application for an Oklahoma

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.

D. Upon sale of a used motor vehicle or travel trailer to

another licensed dealer, the selling dealer shall place the tax

stamp required in subsection C of this section upon the certificate

of title. The used dealer license plate or wholesale dealer license

plate shall be removed by the selling dealer. The purchasing dealer

shall, at time of purchase, place his or her dealer license plate on

the used motor vehicle, travel trailer or commercial trailer as

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

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1405

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. 1. 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 ten-mil weatherproof plastic-impregnated paper

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 such vehicle. Provided, upon a determination by the

Commission that there exists a national shortage of ten-mil

weatherproof plastic-impregnated paper, eight-mil weatherproof

plastic-impregnated paper may be approved by the Commission until it

has been determined by the Commission the shortage has ended. 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 Housing Commission,

the date of expiration, and the company name of the selling dealer.

2. The Oklahoma Used Motor Vehicle, Dismantler, and

Manufactured Housing Commission is hereby directed to develop the

motor vehicle 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

expiration. 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 motor vehicle temporary license plate shall be

valid for a period of ten (10) days from the date of purchase. Use

of the motor vehicle temporary license plate 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 commercial trailer temporary

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

of a motor vehicle shall display the motor vehicle temporary license

plate for a period not to exceed ten (10) days or until registration

and title are obtained as provided in this section. The purchaser

of a commercial trailer shall display the commercial trailer

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

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1406

until registration and title are obtained as provided in this

section.

3. 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 ten (10) days

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. Additionally,

within two (2) business days of the date of the sale or transfer of

the vehicle or trailer, the parties shall submit the requisite

documentation to Service Oklahoma or licensed operator identifying

the vehicle or trailer subject to the sale or transfer, purchaser

information, and any associated license plate on the vehicle,

pursuant to the requirements of Section 1112.2 of this title.

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.

H. A nonprofit charitable organization which is exempt from

taxation pursuant to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, 26

U.S.C., Section 501(c)(3), and which accepts donations of used motor

vehicles previously titled in Oklahoma to be subsequently

transferred to another owner, upon the qualifying organization

providing sufficient documentation of its tax-exempt status, may

obtain from Service Oklahoma charitable nonprofit organization

license plates for demonstrating, transporting, or test-driving

donated vehicles, provided that no organization shall possess or use

at any one time more than eight such plates. Service Oklahoma shall

design distinctive license plates for that purpose. The cost for

such plates shall be the same as provided in subsection A of this

section for dealer plates.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1407

qualifying nonprofit organization described in subsection H of this

section shall be made without the payment of motor vehicle excise

tax levied pursuant to Section 2103 of Title 68 of the Oklahoma

prescribed by the Board, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover

Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified

by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover.

B. As used in this section:

1. "Eligible Rollover Distribution" means any distribution of

all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the Distributee,

Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

and the portion of any distribution that is not includable in gross

subject to any limitations under Section 408A(c) of the Internal

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Effective for distributions after

SIMPLE IRA, but only if such rollover contribution is made after

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 140

December 18, 2015, and only if such rollover contribution occurs

after the two-year period described in Section 72(t)(6) of the

SIMPLE IRA, but only if such contribution occurs after the two-year

period described in Code Section 72(t)(6) and is made in accordance

Nonresident Violator Compact
Status: in_force

The Nonresident Violator Compact, hereinafter called "the

compact", is hereby enacted into law and entered into with all other

jurisdictions legally joining therein in the form substantially as

follows:

ARTICLE I. FINDINGS, DECLARATION OF POLICY AND PURPOSE

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 979

A. The party jurisdictions find that:

1. In most instances, a motorist who is cited for a traffic

violation in a jurisdiction other than his home jurisdiction:

a. must post collateral or bond to secure

appearance for trial at a later date; or

b. if unable to post collateral or bond, is taken

into custody until the collateral or bond is posted; or

c. is taken directly to court for his trial to be

held.

2. In some instances, the motorist's driver's license may be

deposited as collateral to be returned after he has complied with

the terms of the citation.

3. The purpose of the practices described in paragraphs 1 and

2 is to ensure compliance with the terms of a traffic citation by

the motorist who, if permitted to continue on his way after

receiving the traffic citation, could return to his home

jurisdiction and disregard his duty under the terms of the traffic

citation.

4. A motorist receiving a traffic citation in his home

jurisdiction is permitted, except for certain violations, to accept

the citation from the officer at the scene of the violation and to

immediately continue on his way after promising or being instructed

to comply with the terms of the citation.

5. The practice described in paragraph 1 causes unnecessary

inconvenience and, at times, a hardship for the motorist who is

unable at the time to post collateral, furnish a bond, stand trial,

or pay the fine, and thus is compelled to remain in custody until

some arrangement can be made.

6. The deposit of a driver's license as a bail bond, as

described in paragraph 2, is viewed with disfavor.

7. The practices described herein consume an undue amount of

law enforcement time.

B. It is the policy of the party jurisdictions to:

1. Seek compliance with the laws, ordinances, and

administrative rules and regulations relating to the operation of

motor vehicles in each of the jurisdictions.

2. Allow motorists to accept a traffic citation for certain

violations and proceed on their way without delay whether or not the

motorist is a resident of the jurisdiction in which the citation was

issued.

3. Extend cooperation to its fullest extent among the

jurisdictions for obtaining compliance with the terms of a traffic

citation issued in one jurisdiction to a resident of another

jurisdiction.

4. Maximize effective utilization of law enforcement personnel

and assist court systems in the efficient disposition of traffic

violations.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 980

C. The purpose of this compact is to:

1. Provide a means through which the party jurisdictions may

participate in a reciprocal program to effectuate the policies

enumerated, in paragraph B, in a uniform and orderly manner.

2. Provide for the fair and impartial treatment of traffic

violators operating within party jurisdictions in recognition of the

motorist's right of due process and the sovereign status of a party

jurisdiction.

Okla. Stat. tit. 47, § 47-1120 — OK Code / Title 47 / Section 47-1120
Proportional registration
Status: in_force

A. The Corporation Commission may, when in the interest of the

State of Oklahoma and its residents, enter into the International

Registration Plan or other compacts or agreements with other states

to permit motor vehicle registration and license taxes on any truck,

bus, or truck-tractor on a proportional basis commensurate with the

use of Oklahoma highways. Proportional registration under such

plans may be permitted for vehicles engaged in interstate commerce

or combined interstate and intrastate commerce. Any action taken by

the Oklahoma Tax Commission with respect to the International

Registration Plan or other such compacts or agreements prior to July

1, 2004, shall remain in effect unless altered by the Corporation

Commission pursuant to its authority to do so after the effective

date of this act.

B. The Corporation Commission shall require that such

proportional registration be based on the percentage of miles

actually operated by such vehicles or fleets of vehicles in the

State of Oklahoma in the reporting period in proportion to the total

fleet miles operated both within and without Oklahoma. If the

registrant did not incur mileage during the preceding reporting

period, the registrant shall pay fees for its future operations in

accordance with the International Registration Plan. Such

percentage figure, so determined by the Corporation Commission,

shall be the Oklahoma mileage factor. In computing the taxes under

the foregoing formula, the Corporation Commission shall first

compute the license fees for the entire fleet and then multiply the

amount by the Oklahoma mileage factor on a dollar basis.

C. Upon receipt of the Oklahoma license and registration tax,

which shall be paid by cash and/or certified funds, as computed

under the provisions of the Oklahoma Vehicle License and

Registration Act, the Corporation Commission shall register all such

fleet vehicles, and shall issue a license plate, cab card or decal

for each of such vehicles identifying it as part of an interstate

fleet. The Corporation Commission may, upon satisfactory review of

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1181

the payment history of an applicant, waive the requirement for

payment in cash or certified funds.

D. Vehicles so registered on a prorated basis shall be

considered fully licensed in Oklahoma and shall be exempt from all

further registration or license fees under the provisions of the

Oklahoma Vehicle License and Registration Act; provided that such

fleet vehicles are proportionally licensed in some other state,

territory or possession of the United States or some foreign

province, state or country with which the Corporation Commission has

entered into a prorationing compact or agreement.

If a vehicle is permanently withdrawn from a proportionally

registered fleet and a replacement vehicle is added to the fleet in

the same calendar month, the replacement vehicle shall be considered

fully registered as provided in Section 1133 of this title and

Section 14-109 of this title, if the replacement vehicle is

registered for a weight equal to or less than the vehicle

permanently withdrawn, or if additional registration fees are paid

when the replacement vehicle is registered for a weight greater than

the vehicle withdrawn. If a vehicle is permanently withdrawn from a

proportionally registered fleet and is not replaced by another

vehicle in the same calendar month, credit shall be allowed as

otherwise provided in this section.

E. Vehicles subsequently added to a proportionally registered

fleet after commencement of the registration year shall be

proportionally registered by applying the mileage percentage used in

the original application for such fleet for such registration period

to the regular registration fees due with respect to such vehicle

for the remainder of the registration year.

F. If a vehicle is permanently withdrawn from a proportionally

registered fleet because it has been destroyed, sold or otherwise

completely removed from service, credit shall be allowed. Such

credit shall be a sum equal to the amount paid with respect to such

vehicle when it was first proportionally registered in the

registration year, reduced by those months elapsing since the

beginning of the registration year. The credit may be applied

against subsequent additions to the fleet, with the exception of

vehicles removed from a renewal fleet and later added back to the

same fleet, to be prorated or for other additional registration fees

assessed. In no event shall credit be allowed for fees beyond such

registration year, nor shall any such amount be subject to refund.

Provided, further, that vehicles removed from a prorated fleet or

sold to a nonprorated fleet for operation in Oklahoma shall be

registered in Oklahoma for the remaining portion of the year.

G. The records of total mileage operated in all states upon

which the application is made for a period of three (3) years

following the year upon which the application is based shall be

preserved. Upon request of the Corporation Commission, such records

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1182

shall be made available for audit as to accuracy of computation and

payments. The Corporation Commission may enter into agreements with

agencies of other states administering motor vehicle registration

laws for joint audits of any such records.

H. The Corporation Commission may enter into compacts or

agreements with other states or other countries or subdivisions of

such countries allowing reciprocal privileges to vehicles based in

such other states and operating in interstate commerce if the

vehicles are properly registered therein.

I. Interchanged vehicles properly registered in another state

may be granted reciprocal privileges when engaged in a continuous

movement in interstate commerce, but must register in this state if

used in intrastate commerce.

J. In addition to those taxes or fees imposed by the Oklahoma

Vehicle License and Registration Act, the same or substantially the

same type or category of tax or fee may be imposed upon an out-of-

state resident as is imposed upon residents of Oklahoma for the same

or substantially similar use of a vehicle in such other state in the

amount, or approximate total amount, of any fee or tax, including

property, motor fuel, excise, sales, use or mileage tax required by

the laws of such other state to be paid by a resident of this state

making the same or similar use of a like vehicle in such state.

The Corporation Commission shall have the authority to

promulgate rules which provide procedures for implementation of

comparable regulatory fees and taxes for vehicles used in this state

by residents of other states.

Any revenue derived from this subsection shall be apportioned in

the same manner as provided in Section 1104 of this title.

It is the intention of the Legislature that the motor vehicle

registration and licensing fees assessed against residents of other

states operating similar vehicles in Oklahoma be comparably the same

as the motor vehicle registration and licensing fees assessed

against residents of Oklahoma operating a similar vehicle for a

similar purpose in such other state; and that the Corporation

Commission diligently monitor the motor vehicle registration and

licensing fees assessed against residents of Oklahoma by other

states and to provide for uniform treatment of Oklahoma residents

operating vehicles in other states and for residents of other states

operating vehicles in Oklahoma.

Motor carriers - Permits - Oklahoma Load Limit Map -
Status: in_force

Saddlemounts - Exemptions and restrictions - Driveaway permits.

A. 1. Pursuant to such rules as may be prescribed by Oklahoma

agencies of jurisdiction, Oklahoma motor carriers may engage in any

activity in which carriers subject to the jurisdiction of the

federal government may be authorized by federal legislation to

engage. Provided further, the Transportation Commission shall

formulate for the State Trunk Highway System, including the National

System of Interstate and Defense Highways, and for all other

highways or portions thereof, rules governing the movement of

vehicles or loads which exceed the size or weight limitations

specified by the provisions of this chapter.

2. Such rules shall be the basis for the development of a

system by the Executive Director of the Department of Transportation

for the issuance of permits for the movement of oversize or

overweight vehicles or loads. Such system shall include, but not be

limited to, provisions for duration, seasonal factors, hours of the

day or days when valid, special requirements as to flags, flagmen

and warning or safety devices and other such items as may be

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 680

consistent with the intent of this section. The permit system shall

include provisions for the collection of permit fees as well as for

the issuance of the permits by telephone, electronic transfer or

such other methods of issuance as may be deemed feasible.

3. The Department of Transportation is authorized to charge a

fee of Two Dollars ($2.00) for each permit requested to be issued by

facsimile machine or by any other means of electronic transmission,

transfer or delivery. The fee shall be in addition to any other fee

or fees assessed for the permit. The fee shall be deposited in the

State Treasury to the credit of the Department of Transportation and

the monies shall be expended by the Department of Transportation

solely for the purposes provided for in this chapter.

4. It is the purpose of this section to permit the movement of

necessary overweight and oversize vehicles or loads consistent with

the following obligations:

a. protection of the motoring public from potential

traffic hazards,

b. protection of highway surfaces, structures, and

private property, and

c. provision for normal flow of traffic with a minimum of

interference.

B. The Transportation Commission shall prepare and publish a

map of this state showing by appropriate symbols the various highway

structures and bridges in terms of maximum size and weight

restrictions. This map shall be titled "Oklahoma Load Limit Map"

and shall be revised periodically to maintain a reasonably current

status and in no event shall a period of two (2) years lapse between

revisions and publication of the printed version of the Oklahoma

Load Limit Map. This map shall also be made available by the

Department of Transportation on the Internet, and in no event shall

a period of six (6) months lapse between revisions of the

information provided on the Internet. Provided, further, the

Secretary of the Department of Transportation shall prepare and

publish a map of this state showing the advantages of this state as

a marketing, warehousing and distribution network center for motor

transportation sensitive industries.

C. The Executive Director of the Department of Transportation,

or an authorized representative, shall have the authority, within

the limitations formulated under provisions of this chapter, to

issue, withhold or revoke special permits for the operation of

vehicles or combinations of vehicles or loads which exceed the size

or weight limitations of this chapter. Every such permit shall be

carried in the vehicle or combination of vehicles to which it refers

and shall be open to inspection by any law enforcement officer or

authorized agent of any authority granting such permit, and no

person shall violate any of the terms or conditions of such special

permit.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 681

D. It shall be permissible in the transportation of empty

trucks on any road or highway to tow by use of saddlemounts, i.e.,

mounting the front wheels of one vehicle on the bed of another

leaving the rear wheels only of such towed vehicle in contact with

the roadway. One vehicle may be fullmounted on the towing or towed

vehicles engaged in any driveaway or towaway operation. No more

than three saddlemounts may be permitted in such combinations. The

towed vehicles shall be securely fastened and operated under the

applicable safety requirements of the United States Department of

Transportation and such combinations shall not exceed an overall

length of seventy-five (75) feet. Provided, a driveaway saddlemount

with fullmount vehicle transporter combination may reach an overall

length of ninety-seven (97) feet on the National Network of

Highways.

E. The Executive Director of the Department of Transportation,

upon application of any person engaged in the transportation of

forest products in the raw state, which is defined to be tree-length

logs moving from the forest directly to the mill, or upon

application of any person engaged in the hauling for hire or for

resale of round baled hay with a total outside width of eleven (11)

feet or less, shall issue an annual permit, upon payment of a fee of

Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) each year, authorizing the operation by

such persons of such motor vehicle load lengths and widths upon the

highways of this state except on the National System of Interstate

and Defense Highways. Provided, however, the restriction on use of

the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways shall not be

applicable to persons engaged in the hauling of round baled hay with

a total outside width of eleven (11) feet or less.

F. The Executive Director of the Department of Transportation,

upon application of any person engaged in the transportation of

overwidth or overheight equipment used in soil conservation work

with a total outside width of twelve (12) feet or less, shall issue

an annual permit, upon payment of a fee of Twenty-five Dollars

($25.00) each year, authorizing the operation by such persons of

such motor vehicle load lengths and widths upon the highways of this

state except on the National System of Interstate and Defense

Highways.

G. Farm equipment including, but not limited to, implements of

husbandry as defined in Section 1-125 of this title shall be

exempted from the requirement for special permits due to size. Such

equipment may move on any highway, except those highways which are

part of the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways,

during the hours of darkness and shall be subject to the

requirements as provided in Section 12-215 of this title. In

addition to those requirements, tractors pulling machinery over

thirteen (13) feet wide must have two amber flashing warning lamps

symmetrically mounted, laterally and widely spaced as practicable,

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 682

visible from both front and rear, mounted at least thirty-nine (39)

inches high.

H. Any rubber-tired road construction vehicle including rubber-

tired truck cranes and special mobilized machinery either self-

propelled or drawn carrying no load other than component parts

safely secured to the machinery and its own weight, but which is

overweight by any provisions of this chapter, shall be authorized to

move on the highways of this state. Movement of such vehicles shall

be authorized on the National System of Interstate and Defense

Highways only by special permit secured from the Executive Director

of the Department of Transportation or an authorized representative

upon determination that the objectives of this section will be

served by such a permit and that federal weight restrictions will

not be violated. The special permit shall be:

1. A single-trip permit issued under the provisions of this

section and Section 14-116 of this title; or

2. A special annual overweight permit which shall be issued for

one calendar year period upon payment of a fee of Sixty Dollars

($60.00).

The weight of any such vehicle shall not exceed six hundred

fifty (650) pounds multiplied by the nominal width of the tire. The

vehicle shall be required to carry the safety equipment adjudged

necessary for the health and welfare of the driving public. If any

oversized vehicle does not come under the other limitations of the

present laws, it shall be deemed that the same shall travel only

between the hours of sunrise and sunset. The vehicle, being

overweight but of legal dimension, shall be allowed continuous

travel. The vehicles, except special mobilized machinery, shall be

exempt from the laws of this state relating to motor vehicle

registration, licensing or other fees or taxes in lieu of ad valorem

taxes.

I. 1. When such machinery has a width greater than eight and

one-half (8 1/2) feet, or a length, exclusive of load, of forty-five

(45) feet, or a height in excess of thirteen and one-half (13 1/2)

feet, then the permit may restrict movement to a fifty-mile radius

from an established operating base, and may designate highways to be

traveled, hours of travel and when flagmen may be required to

precede or follow the equipment.

2. Possession of a permit shall in no way be construed as

exempting such equipment from the authority of the Executive

Director of the Department of Transportation to restrict use of

particular highways, nor shall it exempt owners or operators of such

equipment from the responsibility for damage to highways caused by

movement of the equipment. Nothing in this subsection shall apply

to machinery used in highway construction or road material

production.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 683

3. Upon the issuance of a special mobilized machinery driveaway

permit as provided in this subsection, special mobilized machinery

manufactured in Oklahoma shall be permitted to move upon the

highways of this state from the place of manufacture to the state

line for delivery and exclusive use outside the state, and may be

temporarily returned to Oklahoma for modification and repair, with

subsequent movement back out of the state. Special driveaway

permits for such movements shall be issued by the Executive Director

of the Department of Transportation, who may act through designated

agents, upon the payment of a fee in the amount of Fifteen Dollars

($15.00) for each movement.

4. The size of the special mobilized machinery shall not be

such as to create a safety hazard in the judgment of the Executive

Director of the Department of Transportation. Permits for such

special mobilized machinery shall specify a maximum permissible road

speed of sixty (60) miles per hour, designate safety equipment to be

carried and may exclude use of highways of the interstate system.

5. When such equipment has a width greater than eight and one-

half (8 1/2) feet, or a length exclusive of load of forty-five (45)

feet, or a height in excess of thirteen and one-half (13 1/2) feet,

the permit may designate highways to be traveled, hours of travel

and when flagmen may be required to precede or follow the equipment.

6. Possession of a special driveaway permit shall in no way be

construed as exempting such equipment from the authority of the

Executive Director of the Department of Transportation to restrict

use of particular highways, nor shall it exempt the owners or

operators of such equipment from the responsibility for damage to

highways caused by the movement of such equipment.
