Each application for a transient merchant license shall be
accompanied by a license fee of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) and by a cash
bond or a surety bond issued by a corporate surety authorized to do
business in this state in the amount of Two Thousand Dollars
($2,000.00) or five percent (5%) of the wholesale value of any

whichever sum is lesser. The surety bond shall be made payable to
the State of Oklahoma and shall assure the payment by the applicant
of all taxes that may be due from the applicant to the state or any
political subdivision of the state, the payment of any fines that
may be assessed against the applicant or its agents or employees for
violation of the provisions of the Transient Merchant Licensing Act,
and for the satisfaction of all judgments that may be rendered
against the transient merchant or its agents or employees in any
cause of action commenced by any purchaser of goods, wares,
merchandise, or services within one (1) year from the date of the
sale by such transient merchant. The bonds shall be maintained so
long as the transient merchant conducts business in the county and
for a period of one (1) year after the termination of such business
and shall be released only when the transient merchant furnishes
satisfactory proof to the court clerk that it has satisfied all
claims of purchasers of goods, wares, merchandise, or services from
such merchant, and that all state and local sales taxes and other
taxes have been paid.
