§ 68-1015.1. Oil reclamation - Permits.

A.  All persons operating reclaiming plants, or reclaiming oil, upon which there is paid or payable gross production tax, shall secure a permit which shall be in the form of a license from the Tax Commission, by making application upon forms prescribed by it.  The Tax Commission may, at its option and discretion, require a bond from any such person before the issuance of such permit.  Any bond required herein by the Tax Commission shall be for the purpose of indemnifying the State of Oklahoma against loss by reason of nonpayment of gross production tax upon any oil reclaiming plants.  In all cases where such permit is not secured, the State of Oklahoma may institute, upon relation of the Tax Commission, suit to restrain such person from operating such reclaiming plant, until such permit is secured.

B.  1.  Said permits shall expire three (3) years after the date of issuance or renewal thereof and shall become invalid on said date unless renewed.  The fee for issuance of such permit or renewal thereof shall be determined by the Commission but shall not exceed One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150.00).

2.  A permit issued prior to the effective date of this act shall be valid until it expires.

C.  The application for and acceptance of the permit required by subsection A of this section and any renewal thereof shall be conclusively deemed consent by the applicant for the inspections of the property of the applicant by the Oklahoma Tax Commission as authorized by Section 206 of this title and by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
