Issuance or denial of license to make supervised loans
Official statutory text
(1) On filing such application, bond, and payment of the
required fees, the Administrator of Consumer Credit shall
investigate the facts and if the Administrator shall find the
financial responsibility, experience, character and general fitness
of the applicant are such as to command the confidence of the public
and to warrant belief the business will be operated lawfully and
fairly, within the purposes of this title, and the applicant has
available for the operation of such business net assets of at least
Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), the Administrator shall
grant such application and issue to the applicant a license which
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 14A. Consumer Credit Code Page 148
shall be the applicant's license and authority to make supervised
loans under the provisions of this title.
(2) If the Administrator shall not so find, the Administrator
shall notify the applicant, who shall, on request within thirty (30)
days be entitled to a hearing on such application within sixty (60)
days after the date of the request. The investigation fee shall be
retained by the Administrator, but the annual fee shall be returned
to the applicant in the event of denial.
(3) Each application for a license shall be granted or denied
within ninety (90) days from its filing with the required fees, or,
from the hearing thereon, if any, unless the period is extended by
written agreement between the applicant and the Administrator or the
independent hearing examiner.
(4) Each license shall state the address of the office from
which the business is to be conducted and the name of the licensee.
The license shall be displayed at the place of business named in the
license. The license shall not be transferable or assignable except
upon approval by the Administrator.
(5) Each license shall remain in full force and effect until
relinquished, suspended, revoked or expired. Every licensee shall,
on or before each December 1, pay to the Administrator a fee for
each license held by the licensee, as the annual fee for the
succeeding calendar year. The license shall expire December 31 of
any year for which an annual fee has not been paid. There shall be
a late fee for a late application for renewal of a license received
after December 1. The fee for a duplicate or amended license shall
be prescribed by rule of the Commission on Consumer Credit.
(6) Every licensee shall maintain net assets of at least
Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), either used or readily
available for use, in the conduct of the business of each licensed
office.
(7) A separate license shall be required for each office
operated under this title. The Administrator may issue more than
one license to any one person upon compliance with this part as to
each license. Nothing contained herein, however, shall be construed
to require a license for any place of business devoted to accounting
or other record keeping and where supervised loans are not made.
(8) When a licensee wishes to move an office to another
location, the licensee shall give thirty (30) days' written notice
to the Administrator, who shall amend the license accordingly.

adopted by the Administrator.
(10) Any person holding a license under this title who shall
violate any provision hereof shall be subject to forfeiture of each
license held by the licensee and if a corporation, its charter shall
be subject to forfeiture, and it shall be the duty of the Attorney
General, when any such violation is called to the Attorney General's
attention, to file suit for such forfeiture of charter and
