§47-1113A.
A. As used in this section:
1. "First vehicle" means the vehicle from which a license plate is
removed and transferred to a second vehicle;
2. "Second vehicle" means the vehicle to which a license plate is
transferred after removal from a first vehicle; and
3. "Vehicle" means a passenger vehicle and does not include farm or
commercial vehicles.
B. A person may retain the license plate of any vehicle registered to
such person for purposes of transferring such license plate to a
second vehicle registered to such person. The license plate removed
from the first vehicle may be transferred to a new or used second
vehicle. The procedure for transfer shall be as follows: 1. If the
license plate removed from the first vehicle is transferred to a new
motor vehicle, the owner shall obtain a replacement license plate from
the Commission or one of its motor license agents upon payment of the
fee required for a replacement plate and an additional Ten Dollars
($10.00). The replacement plate shall bear an expiration date that
corresponds to the expiration date on the license plate removed from
the first vehicle. The replacement plate shall be affixed to the first
vehicle immediately upon removal of the existing license plate. The
license plate removed from the first vehicle shall be affixed to the
second vehicle upon payment by the owner of all applicable
registration and license fees. Transfer of a license plate to a new
motor vehicle as authorized by this paragraph shall not relieve the
owner of payment for registration or license fees applicable to such
new motor vehicle as required by this title.
2. If the license plate removed from the first vehicle is transferred
to a second vehicle already displaying a license plate, the owner
shall obtain the replacement license plate required by paragraph 1 of
this subsection. The replacement plate shall be affixed to the first
vehicle and shall bear the expiration date of the license plate
removed from the first vehicle. The license plate from the second
vehicle shall be removed and returned to the Commission or one of its
motor license agents. The license plate removed from the first vehicle
shall then be affixed to the second vehicle. The removed plate from
the first vehicle shall bear an expiration date identical to the plate
removed from the second vehicle.
C. The Oklahoma Tax Commission shall be authorized to promulgate such
rules or regulations as may be required to implement the license plate
transfers authorized by this section.
D. In the event a person fails to obtain a replacement license plate
as provided for in this section within the time prescribed for the
registration of the new or used second vehicle, a penalty of
twenty-five cents ($0.25) per day shall be assessed from the day
following the period prescribed for registration to the date of
acquisition of the replacement license plate, such penalty to accrue
for no more than thirty (30) days, at the end of which time the
penalty shall be twice the registration cost of such vehicle.
