Okla. Stat. tit. 21, § 21-1290.17

SUSPENSION AND REVOCATION OF LICENSE

A. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation shall have

authority pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Self-Defense

Act and any other provision of law to suspend or revoke any handgun

license issued pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Self-

Defense Act. A person whose license has been suspended or revoked

or against whom a fine has been assessed shall be entitled to an

appeal through a hearing in accordance with the Administrative

Procedures Act. Any administrative hearing on suspensions,

revocations or fines shall be conducted by a hearing examiner

appointed by the Bureau. The hearing examiner's decision shall be a

final decision appealable to a district court in accordance with the

Administrative Procedures Act. After a handgun license has been

issued, the discovery of or the occurrence of any condition which

directly affects a person's eligibility for a handgun license as

provided by the provisions of Section 1290.9 or 1290.10 of this

title shall require a revocation of the license by the Bureau. The

discovery of or the occurrence of any condition pursuant to Section

1290.11 of this title, after a license has been issued, shall cause

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 21. Crimes and Punishments Page 644

a suspension of the handgun license for a period of time as

prescribed for the condition. Any provision of law that requires a

revocation of a handgun license upon a conviction shall cause the

Bureau to suspend the handgun license upon the discovery of the

arrest of the person for such offense until a determination of the

criminal case at which time the Bureau shall proceed with the

appropriate administrative action. A licensee may voluntarily

surrender a license to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation at

any time. Such surrender of a handgun license will render the

license invalid. Nothing in this section may be interpreted to

prevent a subsequent new application for a license. The licensee

shall be informed and acknowledge in writing as follows:

1. The licensee understands that the voluntary surrender of the

license will not be deemed a suspension or revocation by the Bureau;

2. A voluntary surrender of a license will not be reviewable by

a hearing examiner or subject to judicial review under the

Administrative Procedures Act; and

3. By surrendering the license, the licensee shall forfeit all

fees paid to date.

B. Any handgun license which is subsequently suspended or

revoked shall be immediately returned to the Oklahoma State Bureau

of Investigation upon notification. Any person refusing or failing

to return a license after notification of its suspension or

revocation shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor

punishable by a fine of not exceeding Five Hundred Dollars

($500.00), by imprisonment in the county jail for not exceeding six
uspended or

revoked shall be immediately returned to the Oklahoma State Bureau

of Investigation upon notification. Any person refusing or failing

to return a license after notification of its suspension or

revocation shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor

punishable by a fine of not exceeding Five Hundred Dollars

($500.00), by imprisonment in the county jail for not exceeding six

(6) months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. In addition, the

person shall be subject to an administrative fine of Five Hundred

Dollars ($500.00), upon a hearing and determination by the Bureau

that the person is in violation of the provisions of this

subsection.

C. Any law enforcement officer of this state shall confiscate a

handgun license in the possession of any person and return it to the

Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation for appropriate

administrative proceedings against the licensee when the license is

no longer needed as evidence in any criminal proceeding, as follows:

1. Upon the arrest of the person for any felony offense;

2. Upon the arrest of the person for any misdemeanor offense

enumerated as a preclusion to a handgun license;

3. For any violation of the provisions of the Oklahoma Self-

Defense Act;

4. When the officer has been called to assist or is

investigating any situation which would be a preclusion to having a

handgun license; or

5. As provided in subsection D of Section 1290.8 of this title.

D. Any administrative fine assessed in accordance with the

provisions of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act shall be paid in full

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 21. Crimes and Punishments Page 645

within thirty (30) days of assessment. The Oklahoma State Bureau of

Investigation shall, without a hearing, suspend the handgun license

of any person who fails to pay in full any administrative fine

assessed against the person in accordance with the provisions of

this subsection. The suspension of any handgun license shall be

automatic and shall begin thirty (30) days from the date of the

assessment of the administrative fine. The suspension shall be

removed and the handgun license returned to its prior standing upon

payment of the administrative fine being paid in full to the Bureau.

E. Whenever a handgun license has been suspended in accordance

with the provisions of this act or the administrative rules of the

Bureau promulgated for purposes of this act, the license shall

remain under suspension and shall not be reinstated until:

1. The person whose license has been suspended applies for

reinstatement in accordance with the administrative rules of the

Bureau. The Bureau shall not charge any fee in conjunction with an

application for a license reinstatement. The person whose license

has been suspended must demonstrate that the condition or preclusion

which was the basis for the suspension has lapsed and is no longer

in effect; and

2. Any and all administrative fines assessed against the person

have been paid in full.

In the event a handgun license expires during the term of the

suspension, the person shall be required to apply for renewal of the

license in accordance with Section 1290.5 of this title.
