Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles Page 426

Article III of this chapter for failure to furnish security or for

failure to satisfy a judgment may make application for modification

of the order of suspension to the district court of the county where

such owner or operator resides.

The application shall contain the following:

1. The name and address of the applicant;

2. The date and location of the accident, names of any fatality

or fatalities, names of persons injured, and/or names of persons

whose real or personal property was damaged in the accident;

3. A statement that the applicant has failed to comply with the

provisions of Article II or Article III of this chapter by either

failing to post security or to satisfy a judgment;

4. The facts creating the unusual or severe hardship impairing

the ability of the applicant to earn a livelihood;

5. That the applicant has initiated action to post proof of

financial responsibility by a method enumerated in Section 7-320 of

this title;

6. A true copy of the order of suspension attached thereto; and

7. A verification by the applicant.

B. The district court shall set the application for hearing not

less than fifteen (15) days nor more than thirty (30) days from the

date of filing the application.

C. A certified copy of the application, bond, order for hearing

and any other pleadings shall be served upon the Department of

Public Safety, all judgment creditors and/or persons on whose behalf

security has been required or by mailing a copy to their last known

address at least ten (10) days before the hearing.

D. Persons required to be notified of the hearing may appear

and resist the application of Article II or Article III of this

chapter. At the hearing the court shall take testimony concerning

the hardship of the applicant, testimony of any interested party,

and allow the driving record and accident record of the applicant to

be introduced into evidence by the Department of Public Safety.

After hearing on the application, but not before, if the court finds

that the suspension has resulted or will result in extreme and

unusually severe hardship, seriously impairing the ability of the

applicant to earn a livelihood, the court may modify, but not

vacate, the order of suspension and the extent to which the

applicant shall comply with the provisions of Articles II and III of

this chapter with respect to furnishing security or satisfying a

judgment. If the court finds the order of suspension should be

modified, then the court shall require that the applicant furnish

proof of financial responsibility by a method enumerated in Section

7-320 of this title. The proof of financial responsibility shall be

furnished to the Department of Public Safety. The modification

shall not become effective until the proof of financial

responsibility is furnished to the Department together with a

certified order of the court setting forth the modification.

E. An appeal may be taken by any interested party from the

order of the district court to the Supreme Court of the State of

Oklahoma.

F. It shall be the duty of the district attorney in the county

where the application is filed to represent the Department of Public

Safety in the proceedings under the statute upon request from the

Department of Public Safety.
