§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.
