permit, shall furnish to the Oklahoma Tax Commission a bond from a
surety company chartered or authorized to do business in this state,

the Tax Commission may deem necessary to secure payment of the gross
receipts tax levied upon gross receipts of the licensees.

continuing instrument and shall constitute a new and separate
obligation in the sum stated therein for each calendar year or a
portion thereof while such bond is in force. Such bond shall remain
in effect until the surety or sureties are released and discharged
by the Tax Commission.
C. The Tax Commission, or its duly authorized agent, shall fix
the amount of such bond or other security for each licensee for each
place of business after considering the estimated gross receipts tax

amount of the average estimated quarterly gross receipts tax
liability. The minimum bond required for a new permit holder shall
be not less than One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00).
D. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection C of this
section, if the permit holder has held the permit for at least four
(4) years and is not delinquent in the payment of mixed beverage

so long as the permit holder remains current in the payment of such
taxes.
E. Any bond or other security shall be such as will protect
this state against failure of the taxpayer or licensee to pay the
