A. A court of competent jurisdiction, state agency or

legislative committee may issue a subpoena for a customer's

financial record only if such subpoena is authorized by law. Said

subpoena shall specify what financial record is sought. A subpoena

issued by a state agency or legislative committee shall be enforced

pursuant to Section 315 of Title 75 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

B. A copy of the subpoena shall be served on the customer or

mailed to his last-known address on or before the date the subpoena

is served on the financial institution.

C. The customer shall have fourteen (14) days after the

subpoena was served or mailed in which to file a motion to quash the

subpoena on the following grounds:

1. That the financial record sought is incompetent, irrelevant

or immaterial for the purpose or purposes for which it is sought;

2. That the release of the financial record would cause an

unreasonable burden or hardship under the circumstances;

3. That the government authority seeking said financial record

is attempting to harass the customer; or

4. That there is no merit in the purpose or purposes for which

said financial record is sought.

If the subpoena was issued by the district court, the motion to

quash the subpoena shall be filed in the district court that issued

the subpoena. If the subpoena was issued by a state agency or a

served by personal service or by mail on:

1. A chairman, presiding officer, or any member of the

governing body of the government authority seeking the records; and

2. Any officer of the financial institution which has been

served the subpoena,

at least ten (10) days before any hearing on the motion to quash.

E. Failure of the customer to file a motion to quash in the

time provided for in subsection C shall constitute a waiver of his

right to object to the release or disclosure of the financial record

sought by the government authority.

F. During the period for filing the motion to quash and

continuing until a ruling is made on such motion, if one is filed

the financial institution shall make available to its customer a

copy of the records sought and shall preserve the original records

without alteration.

G. The notice and challenge procedures provided for in this

section shall not apply when the financial records of the customer:

1. Are sought pursuant to a subpoena in connection with

litigation to which the customer is a party, including, but not

limited to, litigation between a government authority and the

customer; or

2. Are sought pursuant to an administrative subpoena in an

adjudicatory proceeding in which the customer is a party.
