§47-561.
   
   The Legislature finds and declares that the distribution and sale of
   new motor vehicles in the State of Oklahoma vitally affects the
   general economy of the state and the public interest and the public
   welfare, and that in order to promote the public interest and the
   public welfare, and in the exercise of its police powers, it is
   necessary to regulate and to license motor vehicle manufacturers,
   distributors, representatives, new motor vehicle dealers and
   salespersons of new motor vehicles doing business in Oklahoma, in
   order to prevent frauds, impositions and other abuses upon its
   citizens and to protect and preserve the investments and properties of
   the citizens of this state, and in order to avoid undue control of the
   independent motor vehicle dealer by the motor vehicle manufacturing
   and distributing organizations, and in order to foster and keep alive
   vigorous and healthy competition by prohibiting unfair practices by
   which fair and honest competition is destroyed or prevented, and to
   protect the public against the creation or perpetuation of monopolies
   and practices detrimental to the public welfare, to prevent the
   practice of requiring the buying of special features, appliances and
   equipment not desired or requested by the purchaser, to prevent false
   and misleading advertising, to prevent unfair practices by motor
   vehicle dealers, manufacturers and distributing organizations, to
   promote the public safety and prevent disruption of the franchise
   system of distribution of motor vehicles to the public and prevent
   deterioration of facilities for servicing motor vehicles and keeping
   same safe and properly functioning, and prevent bankrupting of motor
   vehicle dealers, who might otherwise be caused to fail because of such
   unfair practices.
