Authority of Department to suspend license or privilege

Official statutory text

A. Whenever any person is convicted or pleads guilty in any

court having jurisdiction over offenses committed under Section 1-

101 et seq. of this title, or any other act or municipal ordinance

or act or ordinance of another state regulating the operation of

motor vehicles on highways, such court shall make immediate report

to Service Oklahoma setting forth the name of the offender, the

number of the driver license and the penalty imposed. Said report

shall be submitted by the judge or the clerk of the court upon forms

furnished or approved by Service Oklahoma.

B. Service Oklahoma, upon receipt of said report or upon

receipt of a report of a conviction in another state relating to the

operation of a motor vehicle, may in its discretion suspend the

driving privilege of such person for such period of time as in its

judgment is justified, subject to the limitations provided in this

title or any other act or municipal ordinance regulating the

operation of motor vehicles on highways. Any action taken by

Service Oklahoma shall be in addition to the penalty imposed by the

court subject to the limitations outlined by statute.

C. Service Oklahoma, upon receipt of a report of a conviction

in another state relating to the operation of a motor vehicle, may

in its discretion suspend the driving privilege of such person. Any

action taken by Service Oklahoma shall not exceed the penalty

imposed by a court or Service Oklahoma in the State of Oklahoma for

a violation substantially similar to the conviction in the other

jurisdiction which did not result in a revocation of Oklahoma

driving privileges.

D. Following receipt of a notice of any nonpayment of fine and

costs for a moving traffic violation with a recommendation of

suspension of driving privileges of a defendant from any court

within this state, as provided for in Section 983 of Title 22 of the

Oklahoma Statutes, Service Oklahoma shall suspend the driving

privilege of the named person no earlier than one hundred eighty

(180) days after giving notice as provided in Section 2-116 of this

title. A person whose license is subject to suspension pursuant to

this section may avoid the effective date of the suspension or, if

suspended, shall be eligible for reinstatement, if otherwise

eligible, upon:

1. Making application to Service Oklahoma;

2. Showing proof of payment of the total amount of the fine and

cost or a release from the court or court clerk; and

3. Submitting the processing and reinstatement fees, as

provided for in Section 6-212 of this title.

Provided, however, in cases of hardship, as determined by the

court, or proof of enrollment in a federal or state government

assistance program, including, but not limited to, Social Security

or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the person shall

be placed on a payment plan by the court, and the court shall send a

release to Service Oklahoma for reinstatement purposes. The court

may submit another suspension request pursuant to this section if

the person fails to honor the payment plan and it is found that the

person is financially able but willfully refuses or neglects to

honor the payment plan. In such case, Service Oklahoma shall again

suspend the person's driving privilege for nonpayment of fine and

costs for the same moving traffic violation. Upon reinstatement

after suspension for nonpayment of fine and costs for a moving

traffic violation Service Oklahoma may remove such record of

suspension from the person's driving record and retain an internal

record for audit purposes. A court within this state may order

Service Oklahoma to waive any requirement that fines and costs be

satisfied by a person prior to that person being eligible for a

provisional license provided under Section 6-212 of this title.

E. Upon the receipt of a record of conviction for eluding or
record of

suspension from the person's driving record and retain an internal

record for audit purposes. A court within this state may order

Service Oklahoma to waive any requirement that fines and costs be

satisfied by a person prior to that person being eligible for a

provisional license provided under Section 6-212 of this title.

E. Upon the receipt of a record of conviction for eluding or

attempting to elude a peace officer, Service Oklahoma shall suspend

the driving privilege of the person:

1. For the first conviction as indicated on the driving record

of the person, for a period of six (6) months;

2. For the second conviction as indicated on the driving record

of the person, for a period of one (1) year. Such period shall not

be modified; and

3. For the third or subsequent conviction as indicated on the

driving record of the person, for a period of three (3) years. Such

period shall not be modified.

F. Any person whose driving privilege is so suspended under the

provisions of this section shall have the right of appeal, as

provided in Section 6-211 of this title.
