Full text of Oklahoma Oklahoma Statutes § 8-207 — Licenses, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 8-207. Licenses
(a) No burial association shall transact any business until the
Board has issued a formal license authorizing it to do so, which
license shall not issue until it is satisfied that the association
has complied with the provisions of this act. Licenses issued to
such association shall authorize the association to do business in
this state until the last day of June following the date of issuance
of the license, and the license may be renewed by the Board annually
thereafter, unless sooner suspended, revoked, or renewal refused;
provided, however, that any license shall continue in full force and
effect until a new license be issued or specifically refused.
(b) The Board shall not suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew a
license issued to any burial association unless, after a hearing
held, it finds that one of the grounds specified in Section 15 of
this act exists as to such association. Before the Board shall
suspend, revoke, or refuse to issue or renew any license it shall
issue a show cause order to such association stating specifically,
the nature of the alleged violations, and fixing a time and place,
at least ten (10) days thereafter, when a hearing of the matter
shall be held. After such hearing, or upon failure of the
association to make an appearance, the Board shall render its
findings, decision and order in writing. After the Board has
rendered its findings, decision and order, any party aggrieved may
appeal within twenty (20) days to the district court of Oklahoma
county by filing with the clerk of said court a petition in error
together with a certified copy of the proceedings of the Board in
such matter. If the appeal is from an order of the Board, such
order shall not take effect during the pendency of the appeal unless
the court shall determine otherwise. The court may review all the
facts and in disposing of any issue before it, may modify, affirm or
reverse any finding, decision or order of the Board, in whole or in
part.
