Okla. Stat. tit. 47, § 47-2-305.4 — OK Code / Title 47 / Section 47-2-305.4
Limitations on benefits and contributions under
Status: repealed

qualified plans of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

A. For limitation years prior to July 1, 2007, the limitations

of Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,

shall be computed in accordance with the applicable provisions of

the System in effect at that time and, to the extent applicable,

Revenue Ruling 98-1 and Revenue Ruling 2001-51, except as provided

herein. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the

contrary, the benefits payable to a member from the Oklahoma Law

Enforcement Retirement System provided by employer contributions

(including contributions picked up by the employer under Section

414(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), shall be

subject to the limitations of Section 415 of the Internal Revenue

Code of 1986, as amended, in accordance with the provisions of this

section and subsequent guidance. The limitations of this section

shall apply in limitation years beginning on or after July 1, 2007,

except as otherwise provided herein.

B. Except as provided herein, effective for limitation years

ending after December 31, 2001, any accrued retirement benefit

payable to a member as an annual benefit as described herein shall

not exceed One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($160,000.00),

automatically adjusted under Section 415(d) of the Internal Revenue

Code of 1986, as amended, for increases in the cost of living, as

prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or the Secretary's

delegate, effective January 1 of each calendar year and applicable

to the limitation year ending with or within such calendar year.

The automatic annual adjustment of the dollar limitation in this

subsection under Section 415(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of

1986, as amended, shall apply to a member who has had a severance

from employment.

1. The member's annual benefit is a benefit that is payable

annually in the form of a straight life annuity. Except as provided

herein, where a benefit is payable in a form other than a straight

life annuity, the benefit shall be adjusted to an actuarially

equivalent straight life annuity that begins at the same time as

such other form of benefit and is payable on the first day of each

month, before applying the limitations of this section. For a

member who has or will have distributions commencing at more than

one annuity starting date, the annual benefit shall be determined as

of each such annuity starting date (and shall satisfy the

limitations of this section as of each such date), actuarially

adjusting for past and future distributions of benefits commencing

at the other annuity starting dates. For this purpose, the

determination of whether a new starting date has occurred shall be

made without regard to Section 1.401(a)-20, Q&A 10(d), and with

regard to Section 1.415(b)-1(b)(1)(iii)(B) and (C) of the Income Tax

Regulations.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 148

2. No actuarial adjustment to the benefit shall be made for:

a. survivor benefits payable to a surviving spouse under

a qualified joint and survivor annuity to the extent

such benefits would not be payable if the member's

benefit were paid in another form,

b. benefits that are not directly related to retirement

benefits (such as a qualified disability benefit,

preretirement incidental death benefits) and

postretirement medical benefits, or

c. the inclusion in the form of benefit of an automatic

benefit increase feature, provided, the form of

benefit is not subject to Section 417(e)(3) of the

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and would

otherwise satisfy the limitations of this section, and

the System provides that the amount payable under the

form of benefit in any limitation year shall not

exceed the limits of this section applicable at the

annuity starting date, as increased in subsequent

years pursuant to Section 415(d) of the Internal

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. For this purpose,

an automatic benefit increase feature is included in a

form of benefit if the form of benefit provides for

automatic, periodic increases to the benefits paid in

that form.

3. The determination of the annual benefit shall take into

account Social Security supplements described in Section 411(a)(9)

of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and benefits

transferred from another defined benefit plan, other than transfers

of distributable benefits pursuant to Section 1.411(d)-4, Q&A-3(c),

of the Income Tax Regulations, but shall disregard benefits

attributable to employee contributions or rollover contributions.

4. Effective for distributions in plan years beginning after

December 31, 2003, the determination of actuarial equivalence of

forms of benefit other than a straight life annuity shall be made in

accordance with paragraph 5 or paragraph 6 of this subsection.

5. Benefit Forms Not Subject to Section 417(e)(3) of the

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended: The straight life

annuity that is actuarially equivalent to the member's form of

benefit shall be determined under this paragraph 5 if the form of

the member's benefit is either:

a. a nondecreasing annuity (other than a straight life

annuity) payable for a period of not less than the

life of the member (or, in the case of a qualified

preretirement survivor annuity, the life of the

surviving spouse), or

b. an annuity that decreases during the life of the

member merely because of:

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 149

(1) the death of the survivor annuitant (but only if

the reduction is not below fifty percent (50%) of

the benefit payable before the death of the

survivor annuitant), or

(2) the cessation or reduction of Social Security

supplements or qualified disability payments (as

defined in Section 411(a)(9) of the Internal

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended).

c. Limitation Years Beginning Before July 1, 2007. For

limitation years beginning before July 1, 2007, the

actuarially equivalent straight life annuity is equal

to the annual amount of the straight life annuity

commencing at the same annuity starting date that has

the same actuarial present value as the member's form

of benefit computed using whichever of the following

produces the greater annual amount:

(1) the interest rate and the mortality table or

other tabular factor, each as set forth in

if any, payable to the member under the System

commencing at the same annuity starting date as

the member's form of benefit, and

Ruling 2001-62 (or its successor for these

purposes, if applicable) for that annuity

starting date.

e. Limitation Years Beginning On or After July 1, 2008.

For limitation years beginning on or after July 1,

2008, the actuarially equivalent straight life annuity

is equal to the greater of:

section, for adjusting benefits in the same form,

(2) the annual amount of the straight life annuity

straight life annuity commencing at the same

annuity starting date that has the same actuarial

present value as the member's form of benefit,

computed using whichever of the following

whichever of the following produces the smaller annual

amount:

(1) the interest rate and the mortality table or

year beginning on or after January 1, 2008,

and the System does not have an immediately

commencing straight life annuity payable at

both sixty-two (62) years of age and the age

of benefit commencement, the dollar

limitation for the member's annuity starting

date is the annual amount of a benefit

payable in the form of a straight life

annuity commencing at the member's annuity

starting date that is the actuarial

equivalent of the dollar limitation under

subsection B of this section (adjusted under

subsection C of this section for years of

participation less than ten (10), if

required) with actuarial equivalence

computed using a five percent (5%) interest

rate assumption and the applicable mortality

table for the annuity starting date as

years of age and occurs in a limitation year

beginning on or after January 1, 2009, and

the System does not have an immediately

commencing straight life annuity payable at

both sixty-two (62) years of age and the age

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 157

payable in the form of a straight life

annuity commencing at the member's annuity

starting date that is the actuarial

equivalent of the dollar limitation under

subsection B of this section (adjusted under

in a limitation year beginning on or after July

1, 2007, and the System has an immediately

commencing straight life annuity payable at both

sixty-two (62) years of age and the age of

benefit commencement, the dollar limitation for

the member's annuity starting date is the lesser

of the limitation determined under division (1)

of subparagraph b of this paragraph and the

dollar limitation under subsection B of this

section (adjusted under subsection C of this

section for years of participation less than ten

(10), if required) multiplied by the ratio of the

annual amount of the immediately commencing

straight life annuity under the System at the

member's annuity starting date to the annual

amount of the immediately commencing straight

life annuity under the System at sixty-two (62)

years of age, both determined without applying

the limitations of this section.

(3) Effective for limitation years commencing on or

after January 1, 2014, notwithstanding any other

provision of paragraph 1 of this subsection, the

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 158

age or the performance of additional services.

2. Adjustment of Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation for Benefit

Commencement After Sixty-five (65) Years of Age:

a. Limitation Years Beginning Before July 1, 2007. If

the annuity starting date for the member's benefit is

equivalent of the dollar limitation under subsection B

of this section (adjusted under subsection C of this

section for years of participation less than ten (10),

if required) with actuarial equivalence computed using

whichever of the following produces the smaller annual

amount:

(1) the interest rate and the mortality table or

other tabular factor, each as set forth in

subsection H of Section 2-303.1 of this title, or

(2) a five percent (5%) interest rate assumption and

the applicable mortality table as described in

Revenue Ruling 2001-62 (or its successor for

these purposes, if applicable).

b. Limitation Years Beginning On or After July 1, 2007.

(1) System Does Not Have Immediately Commencing

Straight Life Annuity Payable at Both Sixty-five

(65) Years of Age and the Age of Benefit

Commencement.

(a) If the annuity starting date for the

member's benefit is after sixty-five (65)

years of age and occurs in the limitation

year beginning on January 1, 2008, and the

System does not have an immediately

commencing straight life annuity payable at

both sixty-five (65) years of age and the

age of benefit commencement, the dollar

limitation at the member's annuity starting

date is the annual amount of a benefit

payable in the form of a straight life

annuity commencing at the member's annuity

starting date that is the actuarial

equivalent of the dollar limitation under

subsection B of this section (adjusted under

subsection C of this section for years of

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 159

participation less than ten (10), if

required) with actuarial equivalence

computed using a five percent (5%) interest

rate assumption and the applicable mortality

table for the annuity starting date as

described in Revenue Ruling 2001-62 (or its

successor for these purposes, if applicable)

(and expressing the member's age based on

completed calendar months as of the annuity

starting date).

(b) If the annuity starting date for the

member's benefit is after sixty-five (65)

years of age and occurs in a limitation year

beginning on or after January 1, 2009, and

the System does not have an immediately

commencing straight life annuity payable at

both sixty-five (65) years of age and the

age of benefit commencement, the dollar

limitation for the member's annuity starting

date is the annual amount of a benefit

payable in the form of a straight life

annuity commencing at the member's annuity

starting date that is the actuarial

equivalent of the dollar limitation under

subsection B of this section (adjusted under

subsection C of this section for years of

participation less than ten (10), if

required) with actuarial equivalence

computed using a five percent (5%) interest

rate assumption and the applicable mortality

table within the meaning of Section

417(e)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of

1986, as amended, as described in Rev. Rul.

2007-67 (and subsequent guidance) (and

expressing the member's age based on

completed calendar months as of the annuity

starting date).

(2) System Has Immediately Commencing Straight Life

Annuity Payable at Both Sixty-five (65) Years of

Age and Age of Benefit Commencement. If the

annuity starting date for the member's benefit is

after sixty-five (65) years of age and occurs in

a limitation year beginning on or after July 1,

2007, and the System has an immediately

commencing straight life annuity payable at both

sixty-five (65) years of age and the age of

benefit commencement, the dollar limitation at

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 160

the member's annuity starting date is the lesser

of the limitation determined under division (1)

of subparagraph b of this paragraph and the

dollar limitation under subsection B of this

section (adjusted under subsection C of this

section for years of participation less than ten

(10), if required) multiplied by the ratio of the

annual amount of the adjusted immediately

commencing straight life annuity under the System

at the member's annuity starting date to the

annual amount of the adjusted immediately

commencing straight life annuity under the System

at sixty-five (65) years of age, both determined

without applying the limitations of this section.

For this purpose, the adjusted immediately

commencing straight life annuity under the System

at the member's annuity starting date is the

annual amount of such annuity payable to the

member, computed disregarding the member's

accruals after sixty-five (65) years of age but

including actuarial adjustments even if those

actuarial adjustments are used to offset

accruals; and the adjusted immediately commencing

straight life annuity under the System at sixty-

five (65) years of age is the annual amount of

such annuity that would be payable under the

System to a hypothetical member who is sixty-five

(65) years of age and has the same accrued

benefit as the member.

3. Notwithstanding the other requirements of this subsection,

no adjustment shall be made to the dollar limitation under

subsection B of this section to reflect the probability of a

and under all other defined benefit plans (without regard to whether

a plan has been terminated) ever maintained by a participating

employer do not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) multiplied

by a fraction:

a. the numerator of which is the member's number of

credited years (or part thereof, but not less than one

(1) year) of service, not to exceed ten (10), with the

participating employer, and

b. the denominator of which is ten (10); and

2. The participating employer (or a predecessor employer) has

not at any time maintained a defined contribution plan in which the

beginning in 1986, whichever is greater, disregarding any plan

as amended, may be met by either:

salary or the highest median salary amount for a

member whose salary was prescribed by a specific

death, whichever final average salary amount

would be greater, or

(2) the actual final average salary of the member if

equal to the member’s monthly payments; or

4. If said member was receiving, or eligible to receive, a

disability benefit pursuant to subsection E or F of Section 2-305 of

this title, an amount equal to the member’s monthly payments

pursuant to subsection E or F of Section 2-305 of this title; or

disability benefit pursuant to subsection G of Section 2-305 of this

title, an amount equal to the member’s monthly payments pursuant to

subsection G of Section 2-305 of this title; or

equal to the monthly payments which would have been received by said

member had the member been totally disabled.

4. In the event a surviving spouse remarried prior to June 7,

1993, and was a surviving spouse of a member who died while in, or

as a consequence of, the performance of the member’s duty for the

employer, the surviving spouse shall be eligible to receive the

To receive the pension benefits provided for in subsection A of

this section the surviving spouse falling within this paragraph

shall submit a written request for such benefits to the Oklahoma Law

Enforcement Retirement System. The Oklahoma Law Enforcement

Retirement System shall approve requests by surviving spouses

meeting the requirements of this paragraph. Upon approval by the

Oklahoma Law Enforcement Retirement System, the surviving spouse

paragraph shall not apply to alter any amount of pension benefits

paid or due prior to the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Retirement

System’s approval of the remarried surviving spouse’s written

request for benefits.

years or reaches the age of twenty-two (22) years if the child is

enrolled full time in and is regularly attending a public or private

school or any institution of higher education.

the month in which the retired member died, if not previously paid,

estate if there is no beneficiary. Such benefit payment shall be

license plate to be renewed annually. Upon the filing

of a registration application and the payment of the

fees provided for in the Oklahoma Vehicle License and

Registration Act, Service Oklahoma or the Corporation

Commission, as applicable, shall design and assign

license plates of a distinctive design in lieu of the

usual license plates that shall show, in addition to

the identification number, that the vehicle meets the

qualifications of a military surplus vehicle, as the

case may be, owned by an Oklahoma military surplus

vehicle collector. The registration shall be valid

for one (1) year and may be renewed by payment of such

annual fee. The yearly decal shall have an

identification number and the last two numbers of the

registration year for which it shall expire. Except

as provided by Section 1113A of this title, the

license plate shall be affixed to the exterior of the

vehicle until a replacement license plate is issued.

If the owner applies for a replacement license plate,

Service Oklahoma shall charge the fee provided for in

Section 1114 of this title. The yearly decal will

validate the license plate for each registration

period other than the year the license plate is

issued. The license plate and decal shall be of such

size, color, design, and numbering as Service Oklahoma

may direct. However, yearly decals issued to the

owner of a vehicle who has filed an affidavit with the

appropriate licensed operator in accordance with

Section 7-607 of this title shall be a separate and

distinct color from all other decals issued under this

section.

b. Each military surplus vehicle collector, as defined by

Section 1-133.1b of this title, who applies for

military surplus vehicle license plates will be issued

a military surplus collector’s identification number

that will appear on each license plate. Second and

all subsequent registrations under this section by the

same collector will bear the same collector’s

identification number followed by a suffix letter for

vehicle identification.

c. A military surplus vehicle collector must own and have

registered one or more vehicles with regular Oklahoma

license plates that are used for regular

transportation.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1157

d. There shall be a one-time processing fee of Twenty

Dollars ($20.00) to defray the cost of issuing the

original military surplus vehicle collector’s military

surplus vehicle designation license plates to ensure

that each collector will be issued only one

collector’s identification number.

4. The license plate shall be securely attached to the rear of

the vehicle, except truck-tractor plates which shall be attached to

the front of the vehicle. Service Oklahoma may, with the

concurrence of the Department of Public Safety, by Joint Rule,

change and direct the manner, place and location of display of any

vehicle license plate when such action is deemed in the public

interest. The license plate, decal and all letters and numbers

shall be clearly visible at all times. The operation of a vehicle

in this state, regardless of where such vehicle is registered, upon

which the license plate is covered, overlaid or otherwise screened

with any material, whether such material be clear, translucent,

tinted or opaque, shall be a violation of this paragraph.

5. Upon payment of the annual registration fee provided in

Section 1133 of this title, Service Oklahoma or the Corporation

Commission, as applicable, or a licensed operator may issue a

permanent nonexpiring license plate to an owner of one hundred or

provisions of Section 1120 of this title. Upon payment of the

annual registration fee, Service Oklahoma or the Corporation

Commission shall issue a certificate of registration that shall be

carried at all times in the vehicle for which it is issued.

Provided, if the registrant submits its application through

electronic means, such qualified owners of one hundred or more

commercial motor vehicles, properly registered pursuant to the

provisions of Section 1133 of this title, may elect to receive a

permanent certificate of registration that shall be carried at all

times in the vehicle for which it is issued.

6. Every vehicle owned by an agency of this state shall be

exempt from the payment of registration fees required by this title.

Provided, such vehicle shall be registered and shall otherwise

comply with the provisions of the Oklahoma Vehicle License and

Registration Act.

B. The license plates required under the provisions of this

title shall conform to the requirements and specifications listed

hereinafter:

1. Each license plate shall have a space for the placement of

the yearly decals for each succeeding year of registration after the

initial issue;

2. The provisions of the Oklahoma Vehicle License and

Registration Act regarding the issuance of yearly decals shall not

apply to the issuance of apportioned license plates, including

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1158

license plates for state vehicles, and exempt plates for

governmental entities and fire departments organized pursuant to

Section 592 of Title 18 of the Oklahoma Statutes;

3. All license plates and decals shall be made with

reflectorized material as a background to the letters, numbers and

characters displayed thereon. The reflectorized material shall be

of such a nature as to provide effective and dependable brightness

during the service period for which the license plate or decal is

issued;

4. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, Service

Oklahoma shall design appropriate official license plates for all

state vehicles. Such license plates shall be permanent in nature

and designed in such manner as to remain with the vehicle for the

“Department of Corrections” shall also be included on such license

plates; and

8. Within the limits prescribed in this section, the Oklahoma

Tourism and Recreation Department shall design any license plates

required by the initiation of a license plate reissuance by Service

Oklahoma at the request of the Department of Public Safety pursuant

to the provisions of Section 1113.2 of this title. Any such new

designs shall be submitted by the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation

Department to the Department of Public Safety for its approval prior

to being issued by Service Oklahoma.

C. Where the applicant has satisfactorily shown that the

applicant owns the vehicle sought to be registered but is unable to

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1159

produce documentary evidence of the ownership, a license plate may

be issued upon approval by Service Oklahoma or the Corporation

Commission, as applicable. In such instances the reason for not

issuing a certificate of title shall be indicated on the receipt

given to the applicant. It shall still be the duty of the applicant

to immediately take all necessary steps to obtain the Oklahoma

certificate of title and it shall be unlawful for the applicant to

sell the vehicle until the certificate has been obtained in the

applicant’s name.

D. The certificate of registration provided for in this section

shall be in convenient form, and the certificate of registration, or

a certified copy or photostatic copy thereof, duly authenticated by

Service Oklahoma or the Corporation Commission, as applicable, shall

be carried at all times in or upon all vehicles so registered, in

such manner as to permit a ready examination thereof upon demand by

any peace officer of the state or duly authorized employee of the

Department of Public Safety. Any such officer or agent may seize

and hold such vehicle when the operator of the same does not have

the registration certificate in the operator’s possession or when

any such officer or agent determines that the registration

certificate has been obtained by misrepresentation of any essential

or material fact or when any number or identifying information

appearing on such certificate has been changed, altered, obliterated

or concealed in any way, until the proper registration or

identification of such vehicle has been made or produced by the

owner thereof.

E. The purchaser of a new or used manufactured home shall,

within thirty (30) days of the date of purchase, register the home

with Service Oklahoma or a licensed operator pursuant to the

provisions of Section 1117 of this title. For a new manufactured

home, it shall be the responsibility of the dealer selling the home

to place a temporary license plate on the home in the same manner as

provided in Section 1128 of this title for other new motor vehicles.

For the first year that any manufactured home is registered in this

state, Service Oklahoma shall issue a metal license plate which

shall be affixed to the manufactured home. The temporary dealer

license plate or the metal license plate shall be displayed on the

manufactured home at all times when upon a public roadway; provided,

a repossession affidavit issued pursuant to Sections 1110 and 1126

of this title shall be permissible in lieu of a current license

plate and decal for the purposes of removing a repossessed

manufactured home to a secure location. Manufactured homes

previously registered and subject to ad valorem taxation as provided

by law shall have a decal affixed at the time ad valorem taxes are

paid for such manufactured home; provided, for a manufactured home

permanently affixed to real estate, no decal or license plate shall

be required to be affixed and the owner thereof shall be given a

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1160

receipt upon payment of ad valorem taxes due on the home. Service

Oklahoma shall make sufficient plates and decals available to the

various licensed operators of the state in order for an owner of a

manufactured home to acquire the plate or decal. A one-dollar fee

shall be charged for issuance of any plate or decal. The fee shall

be apportioned each month to the General Revenue Fund of the State

Treasury.

F. The decal shall be easily visible for purposes of

verification by a county assessor that the manufactured home is

properly assessed for ad valorem taxation. In the first year of

registration, a decal shall be issued for placement on the license

plate indicating payment of applicable registration fees and excise

taxes. A duplicate manufactured home registration decal shall be

affixed inside the window nearest the front door of the manufactured

home. In the second and all subsequent years for which the

manufactured home is subject to ad valorem taxation, an annual decal

shall be affixed inside the window nearest the front door as

evidence of payment of ad valorem taxes. Service Oklahoma shall

issue decals to the various county treasurers of the state in order

for a manufactured home owner to obtain such decal each year. Upon

presentation of a valid ad valorem tax receipt, the manufactured

home owner shall be issued the annual decal.

G. Upon the registration of a manufactured home in this state

for the first time or upon discovery of a manufactured home

previously registered within this state for which the information

required by this subsection is not known, Service Oklahoma shall

obtain:

excluding Oklahoma taxes;

5. The certificate of title number for the home; and

6. Any other information which Service Oklahoma deems to be

necessary.

The application for registration shall also include the school

district in which the manufactured home is located or is to be

located. The information shall be entered into a computer data

system which shall be used by Service Oklahoma to provide

information to county assessors upon request by the assessor. The

assessor may request any information from the system in order to

properly assess a manufactured home for ad valorem taxation.

the prohibitions of subsection C of this section with the following

exceptions:

1. The use of such tires shall be limited to vehicles with

rated capacities up to and including two (2) tons;

2. Any such tire shall not be deflated so that the studs lower

and make contact with the road surface earlier than November 1 of

E. The Department of Public Safety and local authorities in

their respective jurisdictions may in their discretion issue special

permits authorizing the operation upon a highway of traction engines

or tractors having movable tracks with transverse corrugations upon

the periphery of such movable tracks or farm tractors or other farm

machinery, the operation of which upon a highway would otherwise be

prohibited under this section.

F. A person shall not operate any vehicle when one or more of

the tires in use on that vehicle is in unsafe operating condition or

has a tread depth less than two-thirty-seconds (2/32) inch measured

in any two adjacent tread grooves at three equally spaced intervals

around the circumference of the tire; provided, such measurements

shall not be made at the location of any tread wear indicator, tie

bar, hump, or fillet. In the event a citation is issued under this

subsection, the officer shall include the tread depth of the

offending tire on the citation. As used in this subsection, an

unsafe tire includes, but is not limited to, any tire:

1. On which the ply or cord is exposed in the tread area;

2. Which has been regrooved or recut below the original groove

depth, except tires that have been designed with under-rubber

1. A lump-sum payment from the account equal to the option

account balance of the member, payable to the member;

2. A lump-sum payment from the account equal to the option

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the

contrary, commencement of distributions under the Oklahoma Law

Enforcement Deferred Option Plan shall be no later than the time as

set forth in paragraph 7 of Section 2-300 of this title.

If a member meets the definition of disability as defined in

paragraph 11 of Section 2-300 of this title by direct reason of the

performance of the member's duties, the payment from the account

shall be an in-line-of-duty disability payment.

participate in the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Deferred Option Plan

pursuant to this subsection as follows:

1. For purposes of this subsection, the following definitions

shall apply:

a. "back drop date" means the date selected by the member

which is up to five (5) years before the member elects

to participate in the Oklahoma Law Enforcement

Deferred Option Plan, but not before the date at which

the member completes twenty (20) years of

participating service,

b. "termination date" means the date the member elects to

participate in the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Deferred

Option Plan pursuant to this subsection and the date

the member terminates employment and starts receiving

the member's accrued monthly retirement benefit from

the System. Such termination has at all times

included reemployment of a member by a state agency,

but only in a position not covered under the System,

c. "earlier attained participating service" means the

participating service earned by a member as of the

back drop date. Earlier attained participating

service cannot be reduced to less than twenty (20)

years of participating service, and

d. "deferred benefit balance" means all retirement

benefits that would have been paid from the back drop

date to the termination date, and one-half (1/2) of

benefit would have accumulated on a compound annual

basis as if the member had participated in the

Oklahoma Law Enforcement Deferred Option Plan pursuant

to subsections A, B, C, D and E of this section from

the back drop date to the termination date;

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 146

2. At the termination date, a member's monthly pension benefit

service and on the final average salary as of the back drop date.

The member's individual deferred option account shall be credited

with an amount equal to the deferred benefit balance; the member

shall terminate employment and shall start receiving the member's

accrued monthly retirement benefit from the System. The member

shall, upon application filed with the Board, be refunded from the

fund an amount equal to the accumulated contributions the member

made to the fund from the back drop date to the termination date,

but excluding any interest. Such termination has at all times

included reemployment of a member by a state agency, but only in a

position not covered under the System. The provisions of

subsections B, C, E, F and G of this section shall apply to this

subsection; and

3. A member may participate in the Oklahoma Law Enforcement

Deferred Option Plan pursuant to this subsection even if the member

has elected to participate in the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Deferred

Option Plan pursuant to subsections A, B, C, D, E and F of this

section. Such a member may select a back drop date which is up to

five (5) years prior to the termination date, but not before the

date at which the member completes twenty (20) years of

participating service. Such a member's participation in the

Oklahoma Law Enforcement Deferred Option Plan may not exceed five

(5) years when combined with such a member's prior period of

participation in the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Deferred Option Plan.

1133 of this title, the excise tax as provided for in Section 2104.3

of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes and the furnishing of proof

title, a manufactured home registration receipt, Manufactured Home

Registration Decal, a vehicle registration decal and an excise tax

receipt. The certificate of title number shall be recorded in the

computer data system required by Section 1113 of this title in order

to collect and store information concerning the subsequent ad

excise tax required by the provisions of Section 2104.3 of Title 68

of the Oklahoma Statutes. Thereafter, the owner of a manufactured

Manufactured Home Registration Decal, vehicle registration decal and

excise tax receipt to the applicant. In such instances, Service

Oklahoma or a licensed operator shall indicate on the receipt given

the applicant the reason for not issuing a certificate of title. It

shall be the duty of the applicant to immediately take all necessary

steps to obtain an Oklahoma certificate of title. It shall be

unlawful for such applicant to sell the manufactured home until such

title has been obtained by the applicant. After receiving a

certificate of title, the applicant shall then take such title,

registration and excise tax receipts and Manufactured Home

Registration Decal to Service Oklahoma or a licensed operator for

permanent attachment of the receipts to the title.

D. The Department of Public Safety shall issue a permit

immediately to the holder of a perfected security interest or

licensed representative thereof, if the holder or representative is

bonded by the state, to move the manufactured home to a secure

location with a repossession affidavit. However, all excise taxes

and ad valorem taxes due on such a manufactured home shall be

required to be paid within thirty (30) days of the issuance of the

issued pursuant to a repossession prior to the furnishing of proof

satisfactory to Service Oklahoma or a licensed operator that all ad

valorem taxes due have been paid.

E. The Department shall issue a permit immediately to a

licensed manufactured home dealer to move a trade-in to a secure

location with a trade-in affidavit. However, all excise taxes and

ad valorem taxes due on such a manufactured home trade-in shall be

permit. A certificate of title for a manufactured home trade-in

shall not be issued prior to the furnishing of proof satisfactory to

Service Oklahoma or a licensed operator that all ad valorem taxes

due have been paid. A receipt evidencing payment of ad valorem

taxes for the current year shall constitute satisfactory proof that

all ad valorem taxes due have been paid.
