Okla. Stat. tit. 2, § 2-11-95

dealers - Appeal bond.

A. Any sales tax permit, issued pursuant to Section 1364 of

Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes, to any scrap metal dealer who

violates any of the provisions of this act relating to the purchase

of copper or aluminum materials or any scrap metal regulated by this

act, may be canceled or suspended for a period not to exceed thirty

(30) days by the Oklahoma Tax Commission. The Tax Commission may

refuse the issuance of or extension or reinstatement of any permit

where the applicant or holder of the permit shall have violated any

provisions of this act or existing laws. Such cancellation or

refusal shall be mandatory as to any scrap metal dealer having been

convicted of three separate violations of this act. However, before

the Tax Commission may cancel or suspend any permit or refuse the

issuance, reinstatement or extension thereof, the Tax Commission

shall give each holder of a permit or applicant ten (10) days'

notice of a hearing before the Tax Commission, granting such person

an opportunity to show cause why such action should not be taken.

Upon notice given to any scrap metal dealer by the Tax Commission of

its intention to cancel or suspend any permit or to refuse the

issuance, reinstatement or extension thereof, the Tax Commission

shall have the authority to enter its order suspending such permit

or prohibiting the applicant from doing business without a permit

pending the final hearing before it as provided for in this section.

B. 1. After notice of the order of suspension or prohibition

from doing business, it shall be unlawful for the scrap metal dealer

to further engage in the business of a scrap metal dealer, as

defined herein. In the event any such person shall conduct or at

any time continue such unlawful operation, after notice of

suspension or prohibition from doing business, the Tax Commission

may institute or cause to be brought against such person or persons

proceedings for injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to

enjoin and restrain such person or persons from doing business

pending the order of the Tax Commission.

2. Upon cancellation of a permit by the Tax Commission, no new

permit shall be issued to such dealer or any firm, corporation or

other legal entity under his or her direct or indirect control or

association, for a period of one (1) year from the date of

cancellation.

3. In all cases where proceedings are brought for injunction

under this act, no bond for injunction shall be required and in all

such cases, after notice of suspension has been given, no further

notice shall be required before the issuance of a temporary

restraining order on any proceeding for injunction.

C. If an appeal is taken from the order of the Tax Commission

issued pursuant to this section, the scrap metal dealer, in order to

conduct business as a scrap metal dealer pending outcome of the

appeal, shall be required to post a bond in the amount of Five

Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00).
