§ 74-3117. Increase of fees by state agencies - When permitted Notice - Justification and documentation

No agency, constitutionally or statutorily created state board,

bureau, commission, office, authority, public trust in which the

state is a beneficiary, or interstate commission, except governing

boards for entities within The Oklahoma State System of Higher

Education, shall establish or increase fees, except during such

times as the Legislature is in session, unless specifically mandated

by the Legislature or federal legislation, or when the failure to

establish or increase fees would conflict with an order issued by a

court of law.

Prior to the establishment or increase of a fee, the agency,

constitutionally or statutorily created state board, bureau,

commission, office, authority, public trust in which the state is a

beneficiary, or interstate commission, except governing boards for

which fees are reported pursuant to Section 3218.2 of Title 70 of

the Oklahoma Statutes, shall notify, in writing, the Governor, the

Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Government Operations,

Agency Oversight and Administrative Rules Committee and the

President Pro Tempore of the Senate of the intended action. The

notice shall include justification for the fee or fee increase and
