fair market value of the vehicle, or if any vehicle not insured is

damaged to the extent that the cost of repair for safe operation on

the highway exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the fair market value of

the vehicle, any holder of the certificate of title for the vehicle

shall return the certificate of title to Service Oklahoma or a

licensed operator within thirty (30) days from receipt of payment

for the loss.

2. Upon receipt of the certificate, Service Oklahoma or the

licensed operator shall issue a salvage title for the vehicle. The

title for any vehicle damaged by flooding shall be stamped with the

words “Flood Damaged”, and for any such vehicle which was recovered

from a theft, the salvage title or rebuilt title shall be stamped

with the words “Recovered Theft”. A licensed dealer subject to the

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1134

provisions of the Automotive Dismantlers and Parts Recycler Act,

Section 591.1 et seq. of this title, shall not be required to pay

registration fees, excise taxes, back taxes, or penalties on a

vehicle as a prerequisite to obtaining a salvage title.

3. If the actual documented cost of repairing the vehicle for

safe operation on the highway does not exceed sixty percent (60%) of

the fair market value of the vehicle as defined in this section, the

certificate of title shall be reissued to the holder and the vehicle

shall not be subject to inspection as required under this section.

The actual documented cost of repairing the vehicle pursuant to this

paragraph shall be certified by the insurance company paying the

loss.

D. If a motor vehicle with a salvage title is placed in

operative condition, application shall be made to Service Oklahoma

or a licensed operator for a rebuilt title. A visual inspection of

the vehicle and examination of the vehicle identification numbers

shall be conducted prior to the issuance of a rebuilt title. At the

time of issuance, the salvage title shall be returned to Service

Oklahoma by the owner, or by the licensed operator if the licensed

operator issues the rebuilt title. A visual inspection shall also

be made of any out-of-state vehicle to be registered and titled in

this state if the vehicle is within the class of vehicles for which

a rebuilt title is required and a similar inspection has not been

conducted by another state. The certificate of title for the

rebuilt vehicle shall be stamped with the words, “This Rebuilt

Vehicle Has Been Inspected by the Appropriate State Official.”

E. 1. The visual inspections and examination of vehicle

identification numbers shall include, but not be limited to:

a. comparison of the vehicle identification numbers with

the number recorded on the ownership records,

b. inspection of the vehicle identification numbers and

the VIN plate to detect possible alteration or other

fraud,

c. interpretation of the vehicle identification number

recorded on the ownership documents to assure that it

accurately describes the motor vehicle in question,

and

d. inspection of the odometer of the vehicle to detect

rollback or alteration.

2. All vehicle damage shall be repaired before the examination

is conducted. The following paperwork shall be presented to the

licensed operator: the salvage title and original receipts for all

parts placed on the vehicle. Components such as doors, motor, and

transmission shall indicate the serial number or the vehicle

identification number (VIN) of the auto the part was purchased from

or removed from.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1135

F. The visual inspection and vehicle identification numbers

examination shall be performed by a licensed operator at the

location designated by the licensed operator. If the location of

the inspection is not the place of business of the rebuilder, the

licensed operator shall issue a permit authorizing the applicant to

operate the vehicle upon the public streets, roads, and highways in

route to and from the designated location for the inspection. The

inspection and examination shall be performed within ten (10)

working days after the owner of the vehicle requests the inspection

and examination. Requests shall be made by completing the request

form prescribed and provided by Service Oklahoma.

G. Inspection and examination of a rebuilt vehicle shall be

performed by a person employed by a licensed operator.

H. The fee for the examination by the licensed operator shall

be Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00), which shall be paid at the time of

issuance of the certificate of title for the rebuilt vehicle. The

licensed operator shall retain Five Dollars ($5.00) and shall remit

Twenty Dollars ($20.00) to the Tax Commission which shall retain Ten

Dollars ($10.00) and transmit Ten Dollars ($10.00) to the State

Treasurer for deposit in the Department of Public Safety Revolving

Fund through December 31, 2022. Beginning January 1, 2023, through

June 30, 2026, the licensed operator shall retain Five Dollars

($5.00) and shall remit Twenty Dollars ($20.00) to the Tax

Commission which shall retain Ten Dollars ($10.00) and transmit Ten

Dollars ($10.00) to the State Treasurer for deposit in the Service

Dollars ($20.00) to Service Oklahoma which shall retain Ten Dollars

($10.00) and transmit Ten Dollars ($10.00) to the State Treasurer

for deposit in the Service Oklahoma Revolving Fund. The licensed

operator and its employees and agents may not be sued for and shall

not be liable for any damages allegedly arising out of the

inspection of a vehicle or any acts or omissions in the performance

of the inspection. The licensed operator may be held liable for any

damages to the vehicle caused by the negligent acts or omissions in

the performance of the inspection. Any person may be liable for any

damages to a vehicle caused by the intentional acts or omissions in

the performance of the inspection.

I. The rebuilt title and any subsequent transfers of such title

shall also reflect that the vehicle was a salvage vehicle, flood-

damaged vehicle or recovered-theft vehicle, if applicable, and also

shall include the salvage date.

J. Any title for a motor vehicle issued pursuant to the laws of

any other state which reflects that such vehicle is a salvage

vehicle, a rebuilt vehicle or a junked vehicle or has any other

brand or classification notation by that state shall be retained on

the new title issued by Service Oklahoma unless the actual

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1136

documented cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation on the

highway does not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the fair market value

of the vehicle as provided by this section.

K. When the insurance company pays a loss on a vehicle which is

registered at the time of mishap, accident, burning, or flooding,

the appropriate certificate of title shall be issued without the

payment of additional registration fees or excise taxes, upon the

submission of a police report or insurance adjuster’s report and a

declaration by the insurer that the vehicle is held for sale to a

dealer. If the owner of the vehicle or other insured retains

ownership of the damaged vehicle, Service Oklahoma shall notify the

owner or insured of the requirements of this section.

L. Any insurance company that pays a claim for a loss where the

cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation on the highway

exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the market value of the vehicle or

pays a claim for a flood-damaged vehicle as defined in Section 1105

of this title shall notify, in writing, the holder of the

certificate of title of the requirements of this section and shall

notify Service Oklahoma of the payment of such claim. The notice

shall include the estimated total damage percentage determination of

the actual cash value made by the insurance company to repair the

vehicle for safe operation on the highway. The insurance company

shall also send a copy of the notification to the holder of the

title. Service Oklahoma shall provide notice to the owner of the

vehicle in writing requiring the owner to surrender the title along

with the fee to Service Oklahoma or one of its licensed operators

within thirty (30) days from the receipt of notice for the issuance

of the appropriate title based on the amount of loss. Service

Oklahoma shall reissue the appropriate title with the words “Flood

Damaged” on the face of the title in the case of a flood-damaged

vehicle; provided, no insurance company shall pay a claim for less

than the amount to which the holder of the certificate of title is

rightfully entitled in order to avoid compliance with this section.

M. Except as provided for in subsection N of this section, any

person, firm, corporation, or other legal entity convicted of

violating any provision of this section shall be guilty of a

misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not less than Three

Hundred Dollars ($300.00) or by incarceration in the county jail for

not more than six (6) months, or by both the fine and incarceration.

N. Any owner of a titled vehicle who has knowledge that the

title is not the proper type for the vehicle and, with intent to

misrepresent the vehicle, fails to make the appropriate title

changes, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Any person who has

knowledge that the title is not the proper type for the vehicle, and

with intent to misrepresent the vehicle, buys or receives any

vehicle for which the appropriate title changes have not been made

as required by the Oklahoma Vehicle License and Registration Act

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1137

shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Any person found guilty in

accordance with the provisions of this subsection shall be punished

by a fine of not more than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) for the

first offense or Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) for the second or

subsequent offense, or by imprisonment in the county jail for a term

not exceeding six (6) months, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

O. Any owner of a salvage or junked vehicle shall submit the

certificate of title to Service Oklahoma or the licensed operator

for issuance of an appropriate title. Any holder of a certificate

of title issued by this state, to a vehicle which no longer exists,

shall surrender the certificate of title to Service Oklahoma for

cancellation. The vehicle identification number on the canceled

certificate of title shall be preserved in the computer of Service

Oklahoma for at least five (5) years.

Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the

transfer of ownership of a vehicle by assignment of the title to a

used car dealer, wholesale used car dealer, or a licensed automotive

dismantler or parts recycler.
Okla. Stat. tit. 47, § 47-11-902b — OK Code / Title 47 / Section 47-11-902b
Forfeiture of motor vehicle
Status: in_force

A. The district attorney may file a motion requesting

forfeiture of the motor vehicle involved in the commission of an

eligible offense as provided in this section. The provisions of

this section shall apply to:

1. Any person who has been previously convicted of an offense

under Section 11-902, 11-903, or 11-904 of this title and who on or

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 515

after July 1, 1999, is convicted of an offense under Section 11-902,

11-903, or 11-904 of this title within ten (10) years of any prior

conviction under Section 11-902, 11-903, or 11-904 of this title and

where at least one of the offenses, current or prior, involved the

death of or serious bodily injury to another person; or

2. Any person who has been convicted of a third or subsequent

felony offense under Section 11-902 of this title.

B. A motion for forfeiture may be filed at the time of charging

but not later than thirty (30) days after the verdict or plea of

guilty or nolo contendere. If a motion of intent to forfeit is

filed prior to the verdict or plea of guilty or nolo contendere, the

proceedings shall be stayed until the disposition of the criminal

case. Notice shall be required even though the proceedings are

stayed. If the motion is filed prior to the disposition on the

criminal case, the district attorney shall notify the Oklahoma Tax

Commission and the Tax Commission shall place a lien upon the

vehicle title. No person shall sell, damage, destroy, transfer or

perfect a security interest on any vehicle subject to forfeiture.

Prior to filing a motion for forfeiture, the district attorney shall

verify whether the vehicle was sold during any period of impoundment

as provided by law. Any vehicle sold in an impound sale to pay

towing, wrecker services or storage expenses shall not be subject to

forfeiture as provided in this section.

C. Upon filing a motion for forfeiture, except when the

proceedings are stayed pursuant to subsection B of this section, the

court shall schedule a hearing on the matter. The hearing shall be

not less than twenty (20) days nor more than forty-five (45) days

from the date the motion is filed. The district attorney within

three (3) days of filing a motion of intent to forfeit shall notify

the convicted person, lienholders of record, and any person

appearing to have an ownership or security interest in the vehicle.

The notice shall contain the date, time and place of the hearing.

When a motion for forfeiture has been stayed pending disposition of

the criminal case and a verdict or plea of guilty or nolo contendere

has been entered, the district attorney shall give notice of the

forfeiture hearing not less than ten (10) days prior to the hearing.

The notice of persons specified in this subsection shall be by

certified mail to the address shown upon the records of the Oklahoma

Tax Commission. For owners or interested parties, other than

lienholders of record, whose addresses are unknown, but who are

believed to have an interest in the vehicle, notice shall be by one

publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the county

where the motion is filed. The written notice shall include:

1. A full description of the motor vehicle;

2. The date, time and place of the forfeiture hearing;

3. The legal authority under which the motor vehicle may be

forfeited; and

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 516

4. Notice of the right to intervene to protect an interest in

the motor vehicle.

D. A forfeiture proceeding shall not extinguish any security

interest of a lienholder of record; provided, however, the court may

order the sale of the motor vehicle and the satisfaction of that

security interest from the proceeds of sale as provided in

subsection K of this section.

For purposes of a forfeiture proceeding, an affidavit obtained

from the lienholder of record, in the absence of evidence of bad

faith, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of secured

indebtedness owed to that lienholder. It shall be the

responsibility of the district attorney to obtain such affidavit

prior to the forfeiture proceeding.

In the absence of evidence of bad faith, no lienholder of record

shall be required to attend the forfeiture proceeding to protect its

interest in the motor vehicle. However, each lienholder of record

shall be given notice of the forfeiture hearing as provided in

subsection C of this section. The district attorney shall notify

each lienholder of record at least ten (10) days before the sale of

the motor vehicle ordered forfeited pursuant to this section;

provided, the lienholder was not represented at the forfeiture

proceeding.

E. Any person having an ownership or security interest in a

vehicle subject to forfeiture which is not perfected by a lien of

record may file a written objection to the motion to forfeit within

ten (10) days of the mailing of the notice of intent to forfeit.

F. At the hearing, any person who claims an ownership or

security interest in the motor vehicle which is not perfected by a

lien of record shall be required to establish by a preponderance of

the evidence that:

1. The person has an interest in the motor vehicle and such

interest was acquired in good faith;

2. The person is not the person convicted of the offense that

resulted in the forfeiture proceeding; and

3. The person did not know or have reasonable cause to believe

that the vehicle would be used in the commission of a felony

offense.

G. If a person satisfies the requirements of subsection F of

this section, or if there is a lienholder of record that has

provided an affidavit pursuant to subsection D of this section, the

court shall order either an amount equal to the value of the

interest of that person in the motor vehicle to be paid to that

person upon sale of the motor vehicle after payment of costs and

expenses or release the vehicle from the forfeiture proceedings if

either the lienholder described in subsection D of this section or

the person intervening in accordance with subsection F of this

section has full right, title and interest in the vehicle.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 517

H. At the hearing, the court may order the forfeiture of the

motor vehicle if it is determined by a preponderance of the evidence

that the forfeiture of the motor vehicle will serve one or more of

the following purposes:

1. Incapacitation of the convicted person from the commission

of any future offense under Section 11-902, 11-903, or 11-904 of

this title;

2. Protection of the safety and welfare of the public;

3. Deterrence of other persons who are potential offenders

under Section 11-902, 11-903, or 11-904 of this title;

4. Expression of public condemnation of the serious or

aggravated nature of the conduct of the convicted person; or

5. Satisfaction of monetary amounts for criminal penalties.

I. Upon forfeiture of a motor vehicle pursuant to this act, the

court shall require the owner to surrender the motor vehicle, the

certificate of title, and the registration of the motor vehicle.

The vehicle, the certificate of title, and the registration shall be

delivered to the Department of Public Safety within three (3) days

of the forfeiture order. The expense of delivering the vehicle

shall be paid by the district attorney. Costs of delivering the

vehicle to the Department shall be reimbursable as costs of

conducting the sale. A motor vehicle forfeited pursuant to this

act, shall be sold by the Department of Public Safety as provided by

law for the sale of other forfeited property, except as otherwise

provided in this section.

J. If a vehicle was impounded at the time of delivery to the

Department and a forfeiture order is subsequently issued, all

towing, wrecker services, and storage expenses shall be satisfied

from the sale of the vehicle. If a vehicle is released from

forfeiture and the vehicle has been delivered to the Department with

impound expenses still owing, all impound expenses, including

towing, wrecker service and storage expenses, shall be paid by the

person prevailing on the dismissal of the forfeiture proceeding and

the release of the vehicle to such person. If a notice for sale of

the vehicle was filed for satisfaction of impound expenses prior to

the filing of a motion for forfeiture, the vehicle shall be sold as

provided by law for unpaid towing, wrecker services, and storage

expenses and shall not be subject to forfeiture. If the convicted

person redeems his or her interest in the vehicle at a sale for

impound expenses, a forfeiture proceeding may thereafter proceed as

authorized by this act. Neither the notice of sale for towing,

wrecker services, and storage expenses nor the sale of such vehicle

for impound expenses shall serve to extend the requirement for

filing a motion to forfeit as provided in subsection B of this

section.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 518

K. Except as provided in subsection J of this section, proceeds

from the sale of any vehicle forfeited pursuant to this act shall be

paid in the following order:

1. To satisfy the interest of any lienholder of record;

2. To the Department of Public Safety for the cost of

conducting the sale, including expense of delivery, court filing

fees, and publication expense;

3. To satisfy impound expenses, including any towing, wrecker

service and storage expenses incurred prior to delivery to the

Department of Public Safety;

4. To satisfy the interest of any person making proof as

provided in subsection F of this section;

5. To satisfy criminal penalties, costs and assessments

pursuant to paragraph 5 of subsection H of this section if so

ordered by the court;

6. To the office of the district attorney who filed the

forfeiture proceeding not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of any

remaining proceeds. Such payment shall be deposited in a special

fund for such purpose as determined by the district attorney's

office; and

7. The balance of the proceeds to be deposited in the Drug

Abuse Education and Treatment Revolving Fund established pursuant to

Section 2-503.2 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes for the benefit

of drug court treatment as provided by law.

L. If a motor vehicle subject to forfeiture as provided by this

act is a vehicle leased pursuant to a commercial rental agreement

for a period of ninety (90) days or less, then the vehicle shall not

be subject to the forfeiture proceedings provided by this act.

M. Upon the court dismissing a forfeiture proceeding, any lien

placed upon the vehicle title by the Oklahoma Tax Commission

pursuant to subsection B of this section shall be released.

alone shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if

none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side

of the intersection or, if none, then before entering

subparagraphs b and d of this paragraph,

b. except when a sign is in place prohibiting a turn,

vehicular traffic facing any steady red signal may

cautiously enter the intersection to turn right or to

after stopping as required by subparagraph a of this

paragraph. Such vehicular traffic shall yield the

right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully within an

intersection, which lawfully may enter the

intersection, shall have the right-of-way over any

motorcycle operator proceeding through a red light

and, in no event where an accident results from the

driver of the motorcycle proceeding into the

intersection on a red light, shall such driver of the

vehicle be charged with any violation pursuant to

Sections 11-401 and 11-403 of this title relating to

failure to yield right-of-way, Section 11-310 of this

title relating to following too closely, or Section

11-801 of this title relating to driving too fast for

signal as provided in Section 11-203 of this title,

pedestrians facing a steady circular red signal alone

shall not enter the roadway.

In the event an official traffic-control signal is erected and

maintained at a place other than an intersection, the provisions of

this section shall be applicable except as to those provisions which

by their nature can have no application. Any stop required shall be

made at a sign or marking on the pavement indicating where the stop

shall be made, but in the absence of any such sign or marking the

stop shall be made at the signal.
