vehicle who:
1. Is a resident of the United States;
2. Is required to register the vehicle under the laws of this state;
3. Is not authorized to drive the vehicle on the public roads of this
state for lack of registration or reciprocity of this state's laws
with the laws of the state in which the vehicle is registered; and
4. Operates the vehicle for commercial purposes;
may receive a temporary permit from the Oklahoma Tax Commission or any
motor license agent in this state. The permit shall be recognized in
lieu of registration in this state. The permit shall indicate the time

seventy-two (72) hours from such indicated time.
B. A fee of Twelve Dollars ($12.00) shall be charged for the issuance
of the temporary permit which shall be apportioned in the same manner
as other vehicle license fees are apportioned under the terms of the
motor vehicle license and registration laws of this state.
C. The temporary permit shall not be issued to any person, firm or
corporation owning or possessing a commercial vehicle, truck,
truck-tractor, trailer, semitrailer or motor bus, who has been
apprehended for violating the registration laws of this state. If
apprehended, the vehicle shall be immediately subject to such
registration laws. Possession of the temporary permit shall not affect
any liability or duty which the owner or operator of a vehicle might
otherwise have by law. An operator of a vehicle possessing an expired,
altered or undated temporary permit shall be deemed to be operating an
unregistered motor vehicle and shall be subject to registration and
penalties therefor as provided by law.
D. The Commission may enter into an agreement with any person or
corporation located within or without the state for transmission of
temporary permits for a commercial vehicle by way of a facsimile
machine or other device when the Commission determines that such
agreement is in the best interests of the state.
E. Any provision of this act providing for proportional registration
under reciprocal agreements and the International Registration Plan
that relate to the promulgation of rules shall not be subject to the
provisions of Section 1151 of this title. The Commission may adopt
such rules as it deems necessary to administer the provisions of this
section. The Commission may prescribe an application form for the
temporary permit and such other forms as it deems appropriate.
F. The provisions of this section shall not apply to tour bus
operations issued permits pursuant to Section 1171 of this title, or
to vehicles entering this state for the express purpose of
transporting the resources and equipment necessary to support

industries operating within the state. Any such vehicle properly
registered under the laws of another state or not registered with this
state pursuant to the provisions of the International Registration
Plan and used for the above-stated purpose shall not be subject to the
registration requirements as set forth in Section 1101 et seq. of this
title while conducting said business.
