authorized by the insurance company is unable to obtain the properly
endorsed certificate of ownership or other evidence of ownership
acceptable to Service Oklahoma within thirty (30) days following

which the certificate of title has been surrendered pursuant to this
subsection. Service Oklahoma shall prescribe a form for the
transfer of ownership of a vehicle for which the certificate of
title has been canceled.
R. The owner of a vehicle which is not within the last ten (10)
model years, not roadworthy and not capable of repair for operation

otherwise not available. The prescribed ownership form shall
include the names and addresses of the buyer and seller, the driver
license number or Social Security number of the seller, the make and
model of the vehicle, and the public vehicle identification number.

7. Service Oklahoma shall have the duty to record the lien upon
the face of the certificate of title issued at the time of
registering and paying all fees and taxes due on the vehicle.
8. When there is an active lien from a commercial lender in
place on a vehicle, licensed operators shall be prohibited from
transferring the certificate of title on that vehicle until the lien
is satisfied, except when the title is transferred:
a.
to a person whose name is included on the loan for
which the lien is placed pursuant to an agreement by
the lender and any party to the title,
b.
to a trust created by a person whose name is included
on the loan for which the lien is placed, or
c.
from a person who has died, upon the submission of a
death certificate.
The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to release

title.
B. 1. A secured party shall, within seven (7) business days
after the satisfaction of the security interest, furnish directly or
by mail a release of a security interest to Service Oklahoma and
mail a copy thereof to the last-known address of the debtor. If the

such satisfaction, mail an additional copy of the release to the
dealer. If the secured party fails to furnish the release as
required, the secured party shall be liable to the debtor for a
penalty of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00). Following the seven (7)
business days after satisfaction of the lien and upon receipt by the
lienholder of written communication demanding the release of the
lien, thereafter the penalty shall increase to One Hundred Dollars
($100.00) per day for each additional day beyond seven (7) business
days until accumulating to One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($1,500.00) or the value of the vehicle, whichever is less, and, in
addition, any loss caused to the debtor by such failure.
2. Upon release of a security interest the owner may obtain a
new certificate of title omitting reference to the security
interest, by submitting to Service Oklahoma or to a licensed
operator:

a release signed by the secured party, an application
for new certificate of title and the proper fees, or
b.
by submitting to Service Oklahoma or the licensed
operator an affidavit, supported by such documentation
as Service Oklahoma may require, by the owner on a
form prescribed by Service Oklahoma stating that the
security interest has been satisfied and stating the
reasons why a release cannot be obtained, an

application for a new certificate of title and the
proper fees.
Upon receiving such affidavit that the security interest has been
satisfied, Service Oklahoma shall issue a new certificate of title
eliminating the satisfied security interest and the name and address
of the secured parties who have been paid and satisfied. Service
Oklahoma shall accept a release of a security interest in any form
that identifies the debtor, the secured party, and the vehicle, and
contains the signature of the secured party. Service Oklahoma shall
not require any particular form for the release of a security
interest.
The words “security interest” when used in the Oklahoma Vehicle
License and Registration Act do not include liens dependent upon
possession.
C. Service Oklahoma shall file and index certificates of title
so that at all times it will be possible to trace a certificate of
title to the vehicle designated therein, identify the lien entry
form, and the names and addresses of secured parties, or their
assignees, so that all or any part of such information may be made
readily available to those who make legitimate inquiry of Service
Oklahoma as to the existence or nonexistence of security interest in
the vehicle.
D. 1. Any security interest in a vehicle properly perfected
prior to July 1, 1979, may be continued as to its effectiveness or

provided by Sections 1-9-512, 1-9-513 and 1-9-514 of Title 12A of
the Oklahoma Statutes, as fully as if this section had not been
enacted, or, at the option of the secured party, may also be
perfected under this section, and, if so perfected, the time of
perfection under this section shall be the date the security
interest was originally perfected under the prior law.
2. Upon request of the secured party, the debtor or any other
holder of the certificate of title shall surrender the certificate
of title to the secured party and shall do such other acts as may be
required to perfect the security interest under this section.
E. If a manufactured home is permanently affixed to real
estate, an Oklahoma certificate of title may be surrendered to
Service Oklahoma or a licensed operator for cancellation. When the
document of title is surrendered, the owner shall provide the legal
description or the appropriate tract or parcel number of the real
estate and other information as may be required on a form provided
by Service Oklahoma. Service Oklahoma may not cancel a document of
title if a lien has been registered or recorded. Service Oklahoma
or the licensed operator shall notify the owner and any lienholder
that the title has been surrendered to Service Oklahoma and that
Service Oklahoma may not cancel the title until the lien is
released. Such notification shall include a description of the lien

and such notification to the owner shall be accompanied by the
return of title surrendered. Permanent attachment to real estate
does not affect the validity of a lien recorded or registered with
Service Oklahoma before the document of title is canceled pursuant
to this section. The rights of a prior lienholder pursuant to a
security agreement or the provisions of a credit transaction and the
rights of the state pursuant to a tax lien are preserved. Service
Oklahoma or the licensed operator shall forward the information to
the county assessor of the county where the real estate is located
and indicate whether the original document of title has been
canceled. A fee of Five Dollars ($5.00) shall accompany the
application for cancellation of title. When the fee is paid by a
person making an application directly with Service Oklahoma, the fee
shall be deposited in the Oklahoma Tax Commission Revolving Fund.
Beginning January 1, 2023, the fee shall be deposited in the Service
Oklahoma Revolving Fund. A fee paid to a licensed operator shall be
retained by the licensed operator. The owner of a manufactured home
upon which the document of title has been properly surrendered may
apply to Service Oklahoma for issuance of a new original certificate
of title upon submission of:
1. An attestation from the homeowner indicating ownership of
the manufactured home and the nonexistence of any security interest
or lien of record in the manufactured home; and

owner of the manufactured home has marketable title to the real
property upon which the manufactured home is located and that no
documents filed of record in the county clerk’s office concerning
the real property contain a mortgage, recorded financial statement,
judgment, or lien of record. Persons or entities to whom the title
opinion is addressed may rely on the title opinion. A security
interest in a manufactured home perfected pursuant to this section
shall have priority over a conflicting interest of a mortgagee or
other lien encumbrancer, or the owner of the real property upon
which the manufactured home became affixed or otherwise permanently
attached. The holder of the security interest in the manufactured
home, upon default, may remove the manufactured home from such real
property. The holder of the security interest in the manufactured
home shall reimburse the owner of the real property who is not the
debtor and who has not otherwise agreed to access the real property
for the cost of repair of any physical injury to the real property,
but shall not be liable for any diminution in value to the real
property caused by the removal of the manufactured home, trespass,
or any other damages caused by the removal. The debtor shall notify
the holder of the security interest in the manufactured home of the
street address, if any, and the legal description of the real
property upon which the manufactured home is affixed or otherwise
permanently attached and shall sign such other documents, including

F. In the case of motor vehicles or trailers, notwithstanding
any other provision of law, a transaction does not create a sale or
security interest merely because it provides that the rental price
is permitted or required to be adjusted under the agreement either
upward or downward by reference to the amount realized upon sale or
other disposition of the motor vehicle or trailer.
G. A security interest in vehicles registered by a federally
recognized Indian tribe shall be deemed valid under Oklahoma law if
validly perfected under the applicable tribal law and the lien is
noted on the face of the tribal certificate of title.

registration and a decal but not a license plate. For each
subsequent registration year, Service Oklahoma shall issue a yearly
decal to be affixed to the license plate, except for an all-terrain
vehicle, utility vehicle or motorcycle used exclusively off roads
and highways. The initial decal for an all-terrain vehicle, utility
vehicle or motorcycle shall be attached to the front of the vehicle

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
applied for. 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,

or measured by income. Provided, for corporations whose property
for purposes of the tax imposed by Section 2355 of this title has an
initial investment cost equaling or exceeding Two Hundred Million
Dollars ($200,000,000.00) and such investment is made on or after
July 1, 1997, or for corporations which expand their property or
facilities in this state and such expansion has an investment cost
equaling or exceeding Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000.00)
over a period not to exceed three (3) years, and such expansion is
commenced on or after January 1, 2000, the three factors shall be
apportioned with property and payroll, each comprising twenty-five
percent (25%) of the apportionment factor and sales comprising fifty
percent (50%) of the apportionment factor. The apportionment
factors shall be computed as follows:
a.
The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of
which is the average value of the taxpayer’s real and
tangible personal property owned or rented and used in
this state during the tax period and the denominator
of which is the average value of all the taxpayer’s

real and tangible personal property everywhere owned
or rented and used during the tax period.
(1) Property, the income from which is separately
allocated in paragraph 4 of this subsection,
shall not be included in determining this
fraction. The numerator of the fraction shall
include a portion of the investment in
transportation and other equipment having no
fixed situs, such as rolling stock, buses, trucks
and trailers, including machinery and equipment
carried thereon, airplanes, salespersons’
automobiles and other similar equipment, in the
proportion that miles traveled in Oklahoma by
such equipment bears to total miles traveled,
(2) Property owned by the taxpayer is valued at its
original cost. Property rented by the taxpayer
is valued at eight times the net annual rental
rate. Net annual rental rate is the annual
rental rate paid by the taxpayer, less any annual
rental rate received by the taxpayer from
subrentals,

Commission may require the averaging of monthly
values during the tax period if reasonably
required to reflect properly the average value of
the taxpayer’s property;
b.
The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of
which is the total compensation for services rendered
in the state during the tax period, and the
denominator of which is the total compensation for
services rendered everywhere during the tax period.
“Compensation”, as used in this subsection means those
paid-for services to the extent related to the unitary
business but does not include officers’ salaries,
wages and other compensation.
(1) In the case of a transportation enterprise, the
numerator of the fraction shall include a portion
of such expenditure in connection with employees
operating equipment over a fixed route, such as
railroad employees, airline pilots, or bus
drivers, in this state only a part of the time,
in the proportion that mileage traveled in
Oklahoma bears to total mileage traveled by such
employees,

c.
The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator of which
is the total sales or gross revenue of the taxpayer in
this state during the tax period, and the denominator
of which is the total sales or gross revenue of the
taxpayer everywhere during the tax period. “Sales”,
as used in this subsection does not include sales or
gross revenue which are separately allocated in
paragraph 4 of this subsection.
(1) Sales of tangible personal property have a situs
in this state if the property is delivered or
shipped to a purchaser other than the United
States government, within this state regardless
of the FOB point or other conditions of the sale;
or the property is shipped from an office, store,
warehouse, factory or other place of storage in
this state and (a) the purchaser is the United
States government or (b) the taxpayer is not
doing business in the state of the destination of
the shipment.

interstate revenue as is allocated pursuant to
the accounting procedures prescribed by the
Federal Communications Commission; provided that
in respect to each corporation or business entity
required by the Federal Communications Commission
to keep its books and records in accordance with

income of the enterprise out of all appropriate proportion to the

of the fact that one or more of the factors so prescribed are not
employed to any appreciable extent in furtherance of the enterprise;
or because one or more factors not so prescribed are employed to a
considerable extent in furtherance of the enterprise; or because of
other reasons, the Tax Commission is empowered to permit, after a
showing by taxpayer that an excessive portion of net income has been
attributed to Oklahoma, or require, when in its judgment an
insufficient portion of net income has been attributed to Oklahoma,
the elimination, substitution, or use of additional factors, or
reduction or increase in the weight of such prescribed factors.
Provided, however, that any such variance from such prescribed
factors which has the effect of increasing the portion of net income
attributable to Oklahoma must not be inherently arbitrary, and
application of the recomputed final apportionment to the net income
of the enterprise must attribute to Oklahoma only a reasonable
portion thereof.
6. For calendar years 1997 and 1998, the owner of a new or
expanded agricultural commodity processing facility in this state

agricultural commodity processing facility in this state claiming
the exemption shall be adjusted annually so that the total estimated
reduction in tax liability does not exceed One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00) annually. The Tax Commission shall promulgate rules
for determining the percentage of the investment which each eligible
taxpayer may exclude. The exclusion provided by this paragraph
shall be taken in the taxable year when the investment is made. In
the event the total reduction in tax liability authorized by this
paragraph exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in any
calendar year, the Tax Commission shall permit any excess over One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and shall factor such excess into
the percentage for subsequent years. Any amount of the exemption
permitted to be excluded pursuant to the provisions of this
paragraph but not used in any year may be carried forward as an
exemption from income pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph
for a period not exceeding six (6) years following the year in which
the investment was originally made.
For purposes of this paragraph:
a.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Oklahoma Income Tax
Act, Section 2351 et seq. of this title, or of the Internal Revenue
Code to the contrary, this subsection shall control calculation of
depreciation of assets placed into service after December 31, 1981,
and before January 1, 1983.
For assets placed in service and held by a corporation in which
accelerated cost recovery system was previously disallowed, an
adjustment to taxable income is required in the first taxable year
beginning after December 31, 1982, to reconcile the basis of such
assets to the basis allowed in the Internal Revenue Code. The
purpose of this adjustment is to equalize the basis and allowance
for depreciation accounts between that reported to the Internal
Revenue Service and that reported to Oklahoma.
2. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, and
ending on or before December 31, 2009, there shall be added to
Oklahoma taxable income any amount in excess of One Hundred Seventy-
five Thousand Dollars ($175,000.00) which has been deducted as a
small business expense under Internal Revenue Code, Section 179 as
provided in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

of such transfer; provided, however, such amount shall not exceed
ten percent (10%) of the amount of gross proceeds received by such
transferor corporation as a result of the technology transfer. Such
exemption shall be allowed for a period not to exceed ten (10) years
from the date of receipt of the first royalty payment accruing from
such transfer. No exemption may be claimed for transfers of
technology to qualified small businesses made prior to January 1,
1988.

of Education. The Commission shall provide the Board with the
necessary information to determine comparability.
G. 1. Nothing in the Oklahoma Teacher Preparation Act shall
restrict the right of the State Board of Education to issue an
emergency or provisional certificate, as needed. Provided, however,
prior to the issuance of an emergency certificate, the district
shall document substantial efforts to employ a teacher who holds a
provisional or standard certificate. In the event a district is
unable to hire an individual meeting this criteria, the district
shall document efforts to employ an individual with a provisional or
standard certificate in another curricular area with academic
preparation in the field of need. Only after these alternatives
have been exhausted shall the district be allowed to employ an
individual meeting minimum standards as established by the State
Board of Education for the issuance of emergency certificates.
2. The State Board of Education may renew the emergency or
provisional certificate of an individual who has been employed by a
school district board of education for at least two (2) years if the
following criteria are met:
a.
the individual has been granted an emergency or
provisional certificate pursuant to paragraph 1 of
this subsection for two (2) years,
b.
the individual has not successfully completed the
competency examinations required by this section,

hire a teacher who holds a standard certificate.
3. Individuals employed by a school district under an emergency
or provisional certificate shall not be considered career teachers
and therefore not entitled to the protections of the Teacher Due
Process Act of 1990.
H. The State Board of Education may grant an exception to the
requirements for all certification examinations for teacher
candidates who are “deaf”, which for the purposes of this section
shall mean having a hearing loss so severe that the person cannot
process auditory linguistic information with or without
accommodation and whose primary language and teaching environment is
American Sign Language. The Board may grant an exception upon:
