Oklahoma Statutes - Title 73. State Capital and Capitol Building Page 28

The Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services

is hereby authorized to regulate parking of vehicles on the streets

in the vicinity of the State Capitol, the state office building, the

State Historical Building, the State Armory, and other public

buildings on the State Capitol grounds. Copies of such regulations,

including amendments thereto, shall be filed in the Office of the

Secretary of State and in the office of the city clerk of the City

of Oklahoma City, and copies thereof shall be transmitted to each

officer, board or commission having offices in said buildings. A

reasonable amount of parking space shall be reserved on the streets

immediately adjacent to each of said buildings for citizens, not

officers or employees of the state, having business to transact in

such buildings. Parking space on the streets and on the public

grounds may also be reserved for officers and employees. Such

regulations may provide for diagonal or parallel parking of

vehicles, the time limit for parking in spaces reserved, when such

regulations shall be applicable, the placing of appropriate signs

and other markings as to the availability of parking space, the

issuance of appropriate stickers identifying vehicles, reservation

of space for bus stops, and such other reasonable regulations as are

deemed necessary to an orderly system to prevent congestion of

traffic and the abuse of parking privileges on said streets. The

Attorney General shall assist the Director of the Office of

Management and Enterprise Services in the preparation of said

regulations. Such regulations shall be enforced by the Highway

Patrol Division of the Department of Public Safety and by the police

of the City of Oklahoma City or other peace officers. The authority

of the City of Oklahoma City to regulate parking on the streets in

the vicinity of the above referred to buildings is hereby withdrawn,

and the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services

and the city manager of the City of Oklahoma City shall cooperate to

the extent necessary in specifically defining the boundary or

territorial limits of the respective jurisdictions in respect to the

subject matter of this section and Section 97 of this title.
