Annual report - Annual license fee
Official statutory text
Every burial association doing business in the State of Oklahoma
under the provisions of Sections 201 et seq. of this title shall,
annually, on or before the last day of June, report under oath of
the president and secretary of said association to the Oklahoma
State Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors, the total income,
less refunds, received by the association from its member during the
preceding calendar year and shall at the same time pay to the Board
an annual license fee equal to one percent (1%) of the said total
income, less refunds, as a condition precedent to the issuance of
the annual license, or the renewal of said license, to the
association. The Board may, if it deems that the Oklahoma State
Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors Administration and
Enforcement Fund is or will be insufficient to meet the expenses of
the new license year, increase the annual license fee to an amount
not exceeding four percent (4%) of said total income. Any burial
association failing to make such returns and payments promptly and
correctly shall forfeit and pay to the Board in addition to said
fees, the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00). In the event
any such burial association so fails or neglects to make returns or
payments within sixty (60) days, the Board shall notify the burial
association and its agents that they have no authority to do
business in the state and the Board shall request the Attorney
General to proceed to collect said fees and penalties and interest
thereon, by an action at law.
