§47-22.30n.
   
   A. At the end of each fiscal year, all motor license agents shall
   forward a complete financial statement covering all expenses and
   disbursements out of all fees collected by such agents to the Oklahoma
   Tax Commission. A copy of such financial statement shall be posted by
   the motor license agent in a conspicuous public place in the motor
   license agent's office. Each such motor license agent shall submit a
   proposed budget to the Commission for its approval or disapproval. The
   Commission shall audit such motor license agents at least once during
   each fiscal year and shall have the power to require any changes it
   deems necessary in the operation of those motor license agents. The
   Commission shall issue such rules and regulations as it deems
   necessary for the proper control of all fiscal matters involving those
   motor license agents and shall print a detailed list of all allowable
   operating expenses and disbursements to be allowed such motor license
   agents. Such list shall also include salaries allowable for employees
   and the maximum salary of the motor license agent as determined by
   this act; provided that, no person employed in the office of a motor
   license agent performing duties imposed by law upon such office shall
   receive a salary that exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the maximum
   annual compensation designated by law for the motor license agent
   provided, however, any such employee who has been so employed in
   excess of ten (10) years may be compensated by an additional five
   percent (5%) of such maximum annual compensation for each year in
   excess of ten (10) years employment not exceeding a total of
   twenty-five percent (25%). The provisions of this section shall not
   apply to the Commission. An audited statement and inventory shall be
   made by the State Auditor and Inspector at least once each fiscal
   year, and as of the end of the day before a newly appointed motor
   license agent assumes office. Provided that such audits by the State
   Auditor and Inspector may be done jointly with the Commission's audit.
   
   Any motor license agent whose budgeted compensation is the same as the
   maximum amount as provided for in this act shall hold all real and
   personal property leased or purchased from the operating expense
   budget of the agency in trust as the property of the agency for use in
   the operation of the agency and for no other purpose and, upon the
   resignation, removal or death of such agent, such property shall be
   transferred to the successor agent. The Commission shall establish a
   beginning inventory and maintain records of all real and personal
   property leased or owned by each motor license agent and shall
   annually update its records as to any interest, whether partial or
   whole, held by the motor license agent in such real and personal
   property. Upon the appointment of a successor agent, the Commission
   shall have the power to provide for the equitable settlement of any
   issue arising from any partial interests involved in such real and
   personal property. Provided however, that the property may be
   transferred to the Commission to be held or used by the Commission
   until such time as a successor agent is appointed and qualified as
   provided in this act.
   
   B. The following restrictions and requirements shall apply to all
   motor license agents:
   
   1. All purchases in excess of Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00)
   made by a motor license agent shall be subject to the Oklahoma Central
   Purchasing Act;
   
   2. No motor license agent shall enter into a lease or sublease, for
   use in a motor license agency or in the conduct of agency business for
   any furniture, equipment, machinery, vehicles or other items from any
   entity in which the agent or any person related to the agent within
   the third degree by consanguinity or affinity has a financial
   interest. Such motor license agent may, however, locate or continue to
   locate a motor license agency in a building owned by said agent or by
   a person related to the agent within the third degree by consanguinity
   or affinity. In such case, the Office of Public Affairs must appraise
   such office space to be leased and approve any leasing agreement; and
   
   3. Any and all records, files, books or otherwise of a motor license
   agent relating to the operation of the motor license agency shall be
   public record which shall be open to public inspection at reasonable
   times, regardless of their location.
