Oklahoma a special agency account. Service Oklahoma is hereby

authorized and directed to assign an appropriate and distinctive

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1423

number or designation for the account herein created which shall be

designated the Service Oklahoma Licensed Operator Account. Service

Oklahoma shall assign an appropriate and distinctive subaccount

number or designation for each licensed operator. Every licensed

operator appointed under the provisions of the Oklahoma Vehicle

License and Registration Act shall safeguard and preserve, in the

manner herein required, all monies paid to such licensed operator

which the licensed operator is bound to account for and pay over to

Service Oklahoma.

B. Each licensed operator shall establish, in a bank or banks

authorized to do a banking business in the state, such special

licensed operator account and at any time that the licensed operator

accumulates a total amount of receipts of One Hundred Dollars

($100.00) or more then such licensed operator shall deposit within a

period of one (1) banking business day after the close of business,

all receipts which the licensed operator is obligated to account for

and remit to Service Oklahoma in the designated Service Oklahoma

Licensed Operator Account and no such monies shall be deposited in

any other banks or other depositories unless the bank accounts are

maintained by Service Oklahoma. Provided that, where a licensed

operator is doing business in a municipality where there is no bank

located, such licensed operator shall have a period of three (3)

banking business days after the close of business to make such

deposits. Advice of deposit receipts or duplicate deposit receipts,

in a form and in an amount prescribed by Service Oklahoma, shall be

obtained and preserved as directed by Service Oklahoma. One shall

be retained by the licensed operator, and one shall be immediately

forwarded to Service Oklahoma. Withdrawals or transfers from such

Licensed Operator Service Oklahoma Account shall be made only by the

duly authorized agent of Service Oklahoma. That part of the

licensed operator’s fees to be retained by the licensed operator as

the licensed operator’s personal compensation shall not be deposited

in the Service Oklahoma Licensed Operator Account.

Each licensed operator shall submit the appropriate reports

designated by Service Oklahoma to properly account for all funds,

regardless of source, received by a licensed operator in the

performance of the licensed operator’s duties. Reports shall cover

a period from the first day of the month to the fifteenth day of the

month and from the sixteenth day of the month to the last day of the

month. It shall be the responsibility of the licensed operator to

mail or deliver such reports and all documents of all transactions

to Service Oklahoma within a time period to be established by

Service Oklahoma.

C. Licensed operators shall deposit in such account all monies,

taxes and fees collected and received by them as such licensed

operators, which they are obligated to account for and remit to

Service Oklahoma, and it is specifically required that checks or

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1424

similar instruments accepted or received by such licensed operators

for taxes or fees must be deposited in such account, less any amount

provided by this section and Sections 2-117 and 1113.3 of this title

that the licensed operators are entitled to retain as fees.

No licensed operator shall withdraw any funds from the licensed

operator’s licensed operator account. All checks, drafts, orders

and vouchers so deposited shall bear an endorsement to the licensed

operator account which endorsement shall include the assigned

account number and the licensed operator’s subaccount number. Items

deposited shall be credited at par and should payment be refused on

any such check, draft, order or voucher, or should the same prove

otherwise worthless, the amount thereof shall not be charged by

Service Oklahoma against the individual subaccounts of the licensed

operator. The licensed operator shall continue to attempt to

require proper payment of all such worthless items, but shall not be

personally liable to Service Oklahoma for his or her payment.

Service Oklahoma or the licensed operator shall charge the person

issuing the check a fee of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) for each

check to cover the costs of the processing of each returned check,

and all necessary travel expenses of collection, as provided by the

State Travel Reimbursement Act; provided, such charge shall not be

made unless efforts have been made to present such check, draft,

order or voucher for payment a second time. Any licensed operator

who collects a dishonored check pursuant to the provisions of

Section 1121 of this title shall also collect a fee of Twenty-five

Dollars ($25.00) and shall be entitled to retain such fee.

D. It is specifically provided that nothing in this section

shall be considered or construed as in any way affecting, relieving

or relinquishing the liability of such licensed operator to Service

Oklahoma for any monies collected by the licensed operator and due

the state or the liability of such licensed operator or any surety

on or under the licensed operator’s bond made to Service Oklahoma.

Unless provided otherwise, any licensed operator who fails to

comply with any provision of this section shall pay a penalty to be

imposed by Service Oklahoma. Monies collected for payment of the

penalty shall be deposited to the credit of the General Revenue Fund

of the State Treasury. Any licensed operator who pays a penalty

pursuant to this section shall not allocate his or her payment

thereof as a part of his or her operating expenses, but shall use

his or her personal funds for payment of the penalty. Such penalty

shall be equal to one percent (1%) of the gross amount of the

receipts received by the licensed operator for that particular day

that the licensed operator fails to deposit all such funds required

by this section or one percent (1%) of the gross amount of the

receipts received by the licensed operator for the report period

that the licensed operator fails to timely mail the required report

or remit any excess licensed operator funds as provided in

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1425

subsection B of this section. Such penalty shall be increased to

three percent (3%) of the gross amount of the receipts received for

that particular day if the licensed operator fails to fulfill any of

the requirements within a period of five (5) days. Provided that

such penalty shall be three percent (3%) of the gross amount of the

receipts received by the licensed operator for the report period

that the licensed operator fails to timely mail the required report

or remit any excess licensed operator funds as provided in

subsection B of this section if the licensed operator fails to

fulfill these requirements within five (5) days.

failing to timely file the accounting report required by this

section if the Service Oklahoma Operator Board finds that:

1. The funds to which the report applies have been properly

deposited;

2. The failure to timely file the report was due to emergency

conditions beyond the control of the licensed operator; and

3. The report has been filed within a week of the date on which

it was required to be filed.

B. Service Oklahoma, upon receipt of said report or upon

receipt of a report of a conviction in another state relating to the

operation of a motor vehicle, may in its discretion suspend the

driving privilege of such person for such period of time as in its

judgment is justified, subject to the limitations provided in this

title or any other act or municipal ordinance regulating the

operation of motor vehicles on highways. Any action taken by

Service Oklahoma shall be in addition to the penalty imposed by the

court subject to the limitations outlined by statute.

C. Service Oklahoma, upon receipt of a report of a conviction

in another state relating to the operation of a motor vehicle, may

in its discretion suspend the driving privilege of such person. Any

action taken by Service Oklahoma shall not exceed the penalty

imposed by a court or Service Oklahoma in the State of Oklahoma for

a violation substantially similar to the conviction in the other

jurisdiction which did not result in a revocation of Oklahoma

driving privileges.

D. Following receipt of a notice of any nonpayment of fine and

costs for a moving traffic violation with a recommendation of

suspension of driving privileges of a defendant from any court

within this state, as provided for in Section 983 of Title 22 of the

Oklahoma Statutes, Service Oklahoma shall suspend the driving

privilege of the named person no earlier than one hundred eighty

(180) days after giving notice as provided in Section 2-116 of this

title. A person whose license is subject to suspension pursuant to

this section may avoid the effective date of the suspension or, if

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 378

suspended, shall be eligible for reinstatement, if otherwise

eligible, upon:

1. Making application to Service Oklahoma;

2. Showing proof of payment of the total amount of the fine and

cost or a release from the court or court clerk; and

3. Submitting the processing and reinstatement fees, as

provided for in Section 6-212 of this title.

Provided, however, in cases of hardship, as determined by the

court, or proof of enrollment in a federal or state government

assistance program, including, but not limited to, Social Security

or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the person shall

be placed on a payment plan by the court, and the court shall send a

release to Service Oklahoma for reinstatement purposes. The court

may submit another suspension request pursuant to this section if

the person fails to honor the payment plan and it is found that the

person is financially able but willfully refuses or neglects to

honor the payment plan. In such case, Service Oklahoma shall again

suspend the person's driving privilege for nonpayment of fine and

costs for the same moving traffic violation. Upon reinstatement

after suspension for nonpayment of fine and costs for a moving

traffic violation Service Oklahoma may remove such record of

suspension from the person's driving record and retain an internal

record for audit purposes. A court within this state may order

Service Oklahoma to waive any requirement that fines and costs be

satisfied by a person prior to that person being eligible for a

provisional license provided under Section 6-212 of this title.

E. Upon the receipt of a record of conviction for eluding or

attempting to elude a peace officer, Service Oklahoma shall suspend

the driving privilege of the person:

1. For the first conviction as indicated on the driving record

of the person, for a period of six (6) months;

2. For the second conviction as indicated on the driving record

of the person, for a period of one (1) year. Such period shall not

be modified; and

3. For the third or subsequent conviction as indicated on the

driving record of the person, for a period of three (3) years. Such

period shall not be modified.

F. Any person whose driving privilege is so suspended under the

provisions of this section shall have the right of appeal, as

provided in Section 6-211 of this title.

the outstanding balance shall be provided to the Department.

Provided, this subsection shall not be deemed to require any party

shall remain in effect and the driving privilege of the person shall

not be restored unless and until:

amount as the Department may then determine;

2. The person in default has paid the balance of the agreed

Coverage exclusions by insurers
Status: in_force

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 1026

A. Insurers that write automobile insurance in Oklahoma may

exclude any and all coverage afforded under the owner's insurance

policy for any loss or injury that occurs while a transportation

network company driver is logged on to a TNC's digital network or

while a driver provides a prearranged ride. This right to exclude

all coverage may apply to any coverage included in an automobile

insurance policy including, but not limited to:

1. Liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage;

2. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage;

3. Medical payments coverage;

4. Comprehensive physical damage coverage; and

5. Collision physical damage coverage.

B. Such exclusions shall apply notwithstanding any requirement

under Chapter 7 of the Oklahoma Highway Safety Code of Section 7-101

et seq. of Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Nothing in this

section implies or requires that a personal automobile insurance

policy provide coverage while the TNC driver is logged on to the

TNC's digital network, while the TNC driver is engaged in a

prearranged ride or while the driver otherwise uses a vehicle to

transport passengers for compensation.

Nothing shall be deemed to preclude an insurer from providing

coverage for the TNC driver's vehicle, if it chooses to do so by

contract or endorsement.

C. Automobile insurers that exclude coverage as permitted in

Section 16 of this act shall have no duty to defend or indemnify any

claim expressly excluded thereunder. Nothing in this article shall

be deemed to invalidate or limit an exclusion contained in a policy

already in use or approved for use in this state prior to the

enactment of this act that excludes coverage for vehicles used to

carry persons or property for a charge or available for hire by the

public.

An automobile insurer that defends or indemnifies a claim

against a TNC driver that is excluded under the terms of its policy

shall have a right of contribution against other insurers that

provide automobile insurance to the same TNC driver in satisfaction

of the coverage requirements of Section 16 of this act at the time

of loss.

D. In a claims coverage investigation, TNCs and any insurer

potentially providing coverage under Section 16 of this act shall

cooperate to facilitate the exchange of relevant information with

directly involved parties and any insurer of the TNC driver if

applicable, including the precise times that a TNC driver logged on

and off of the TNC's digital network in the twelve-hour period

immediately preceding and in the twelve-hour period immediately

following the accident and disclose to one another a clear

description of the coverage, exclusions and limits provided under

any automobile insurance maintained under Section 16 of this act.
