Okla. Stat. tit. 15, § 15-244A: Legislative findings

The Legislature finds and declares that the retail distribution,

sales and rental of agricultural, construction, utility, industrial,

mining, outdoor power, forestry and lawn and garden equipment

utilizing independent dealers operating under contract with the

supplier, vitally affects the general economy of this state, the

public interest and the public welfare. Therefore, the Legislature

has determined that it is necessary to regulate the business

relations between the independent dealers and the equipment

suppliers as contemplated in the Fair Practices of Equipment

Manufacturers, Distributors, Wholesalers and Dealers Act and that

any action taken in violation of this act will result in a violation

of an important public policy of this state.
