§47-1134.
A. Upon each pickup, truck or truck-tractor owned and operated by one
or more farmers and used primarily for farm use, and not for
commercial or industrial purposes, the license fee shall be Thirty
Dollars ($30.00). As used in this section, the term "pickup" shall
mean a small, light truck with an open back or box used for hauling
and designed primarily for the carrying of property rather than
people. The term "truck" shall mean a motor vehicle designed or
converted primarily for carrying or hauling farm commodities,
property, livestock, or equipment, rather than people.
B. The fees assessed pursuant to this section shall not apply to
trailers or semitrailers or combinations thereof used primarily for
farm use and for the transportation of products of the farm by the
producer thereof. Such fee shall not apply to any trailer or
semitrailer or combinations thereof when used primarily for the
transportation of any article or articles owned by the operator of
such trailer or semitrailer or combinations thereof and not used in
the furtherance of or incident to any commercial or industrial
enterprise. The provisions of Section 1134.2 of this title shall apply
to any trailers or semitrailers when used primarily for the
transportation of logs, ties, stave bolts and posts, direct from
forest to sawmill.
C. For the purpose of this section, a trailer or semitrailer or
combination thereof owned by a farmer and used primarily for the
purpose of transporting farm products to market or for the purpose of
transporting to the farm material or things to be used thereon, and
not for commercial or industrial purposes, may be registered for One
Dollar ($1.00); provided, any such trailer used by the holder of a
certificate of convenience and necessity issued by the Oklahoma
Corporation Commission or the Interstate Commerce Commission shall be
conclusively presumed to be used in and for a commercial use, and must
be licensed as such, paying the license fees provided in Section 1133
of this title.
D. Before a party shall be allowed to purchase a license plate or
claim an exception or exemption under this section, the party shall:
1. Show an income tax Schedule F for the preceding year; or
2. Present a valid exemption card issued pursuant to the provisions of
Section 1358.1 of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
A violation shall be grounds for revocation of driver's license. Any
person who signs said affidavit as required by this section when such
person does not believe that the information in the affidavit is true
or knows it is not true, upon conviction, shall be guilty of perjury
and shall be punished as provided for by law.
E. Any person owning a truck upon which the farm truck license fee has
been paid in Oklahoma for the current year and whose truck may be
needed during grain harvests or other seasonal farming activities for
hauling farm products other than his or her own, or for hauling
gravel, shale or other road materials for rural roads, may make
application with the Oklahoma Tax Commission for a short term
commercial license for such truck for a period of time not to exceed
ninety (90) days.
F. Upon such application, the Tax Commission shall issue a temporary
commercial truck license and register the truck upon payment of the
following fees:
1. For thirty (30) days a fee equal to one-eighth (1/8) of the annual
commercial license fee required for such truck.
2. For sixty (60) days a fee equal to one-fourth (1/4) of the annual
commercial license fee required for such truck.
3. For ninety (90) days a fee equal to three-eighths (3/8) of the
annual commercial license fee required for such truck.
G. Provided, however, the provisions of this section shall not apply
to the transportation of persons or property for hire.
