§ 63-4029. Refusal, revocation or cancellation of certificate of title or registration.

A.  If the Oklahoma Tax Commission shall determine at any time that an applicant for a certificate of title of or registration for a vessel or motor is not entitled thereto, it may refuse to issue such certificate or to register such vessel or motor.  The Commission may for a similar reason, after ten (10) calendar days' notice and a hearing, revoke the certificate of title and registration already acquired.  Said notice may be served in person or by registered mail.

B.  In addition, in every case where a vessel or motor has been titled or registered upon an application containing any false statement of a fact required in this section to be shown in an application for the title or registration thereof, the Commission shall give written notice of at least ten (10) calendar days to the owner of the vessel or motor and shall require the owner to appear before it for the purpose of showing cause why said title or registration should not be canceled.  Unless satisfactory explanation is given by the owner concerning such false statement, the Commission shall cancel the title or registration.  The owner of the vessel or motor shall then be required to immediately retitle or reregister the vessel or motor and pay the required fees.  The owner shall not be entitled to refund or credit for the fees paid for titling and registration of the vessel or motor made under the application which contained any false statement of fact.

C.  The Commission shall insert in said application forms appropriate notice to the applicant that any false statement of a fact required to be shown in such application for title or registration subjects the applicant to prosecution.
