Oklahoma § 47-1124.1 - Temporary permit or authorization for vehicle subject

§ 47-1124.1. Temporary permit or authorization for vehicle subject

to proportional registration.

The Corporation Commission is authorized to issue temporary

permits or authorization for any vehicle to be proportionally

registered in this state or which is currently proportionally

registered in this state under the provisions of the International

Registration Plan. Temporary permits may be issued for vehicles

added to the fleet, duplicate cab cards, corrected cab cards,

replacement license plates, adding jurisdictions, and weight

increases to established accounts in good standing. New accounts

may be issued temporary permits only after all fees are paid. Such

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles

temporary permit or authorization shall authorize a vehicle to be

driven on the public roads of this state pending completion by the

Corporation Commission of an application for proportional

registration of such vehicle. The temporary permit or authorization

shall be recognized in lieu of registration in this state. The

temporary permit or authorization shall clearly indicate the date of

issuance and the date of expiration, which shall be forty-five (45)

days, including the day of issuance. The Corporation Commission may

enter into reciprocal agreements with other states for recognition

of temporary permits or authorizations.

The Corporation Commission may assign the temporary permits or

authorization to registrants subject to proportional registration

and such registrants may issue the temporary permits or

authorization as needed for the operation of vehicles that will be

operated as a fleet of proportionally registered vehicles.

Registrants shall be accountable for all temporary permits or

authorization assigned to them by the Corporation Commission and

shall be subject to audit by the Corporation Commission.

The Corporation Commission may enter into an agreement with any

person located within or without the state for the distribution and

issuance of temporary permits or authorizations for any vehicle

which is currently proportionally registered in this state under the

provisions of the International Registration Plan when the

Corporation Commission determines that such agreement is in the best

interest of the state. Any such person or corporation shall be

accountable for all temporary permits or authorizations assigned to

them by the Corporation Commission and shall be subject to audit by

the Corporation Commission.

The phrase “currently proportionally registered”, as used in

this section, shall be defined as any prorate account for which a

properly completed original application has been received by the

Corporation Commission and all corresponding and assessed fees have

been paid in full.

Self-issue temporary permits or authorizations may be issued to

a maximum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the size of the

registrant’s fleet, and any registrant with a fleet of fewer than

six vehicles may be assigned one self-issue permit.

An application shall be filed with the Corporation Commission

within fifteen (15) days to proportionally register any vehicle for

which a temporary permit or authorization has been issued.

Any registrant that has entered into such an agreement with the

Corporation Commission, that is unable to produce, or refuses to

produce, upon request by the Corporation Commission, any unissued

temporary permit or authorization assigned to such registrant, shall

be subject to the following penalty:

A fee of One Hundred Eighty Dollars ($180.00) which is an amount

equal to the fee for the number of seventy-two-hour temporary

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles

permits, provided for in Section 1124 of this title, that would be

required for the operation of a vehicle for a forty-five-day period.

If, as the result of an audit, it is determined that any

registrant that has entered into such an agreement with the

Corporation Commission has used temporary permits or authorizations

to avoid payment of proportional registration fees, all remaining

unissued temporary permits or authorizations in the possession of

such registrant that has entered into such an agreement with the

Corporation Commission shall be returned to the Corporation

Commission, and the Corporation Commission may deny further use of

temporary permits or authorizations by such registrant that has

entered into such an agreement with the Corporation Commission for a

minimum period of six (6) months.
