§47-856.
   
   A. No permit for an official station shall be assigned or transferred
   or used at any location other than therein designated and every said
   permit shall be posted in a conspicuous place at the location
   designated.
   
   Upon payment of the first annual fee for an inspection permit by an
   approved inspection station, the Department of Public Safety shall
   issue to the station a uniform official inspection station sign to be
   posted in a conspicuous place at the inspection station. The official
   inspection station sign issued by the Department of Public Safety
   shall be the only sign used by inspection stations designating state
   approval.
   
   Approved application for a renewal permit by the Department of Public
   Safety shall give an inspection station the authority to continue to
   use the sign. Upon suspension or revocation of an inspection permit or
   failure to qualify for a renewal permit or refusal to make application
   for a renewal permit the sign shall be surrendered to the Department
   of Public Safety.
   
   B. The person operating an official inspection station shall issue a
   certificate of inspection and approval upon official forms, which
   shall be numbered serially and furnished by the Department of Public
   Safety, to the owner of a vehicle upon inspecting such vehicle and
   determining that its equipment required under the provisions of this
   chapter is in good condition and proper adjustment, otherwise no
   certificate shall be issued. When required by the Commissioner of
   Public Safety, records and reports shall be made by official
   inspection stations on every inspection and every certificate so
   issued.
   
   C. Each official inspection station shall examine and test the
   following vehicle mechanical equipment on each inspection: brakes,
   steering, front and rear wheel suspension, exhaust systems, wheels and
   tires, windshield wipers, horn or warning device, including proper
   adjustment of turn signals, windshield and other glass, and lighting
   equipment.
   
   D. Each official inspection station shall check to determine if the
   vehicle has a current vehicle license plate or license registration
   decal. If the vehicle does not display a plate or decal or if the
   plate or decal is expired, no certificate of inspection and approval
   shall be issued. If the vehicle is returned to the inspecting station
   within thirty (30) calendar days and bears a current vehicle license
   plate or license registration decal, the inspecting station shall
   issue a certificate of inspection and approval without additional fee.
   
   E. With respect to any vehicle equipped to be fueled by alternative
   fuels, as defined in Section 130.2 of Title 74 of the Oklahoma
   Statutes, each official inspection station shall visually check, in
   addition to all other items required by this section, alternative
   fuels equipment specified in any rules the Commissioner of Public
   Safety may promulgate.
