Receipts - Deposit of money.

A. All remittances of taxes and fees required to be paid to the

Corporation Commission pursuant to state law, shall be made to the

Commission by bank draft, check, cashier’s check, money order, cash,

or nationally recognized credit card or debit card. If payment is

made by credit or debit card, the Commission may add an amount equal

to the amount of the service charge incurred by the Commission, not

to exceed four percent (4%) of the amount of the payment, as a

convenience fee for the acceptance of the credit or debit card. For

purposes of this subsection “nationally recognized credit or debit

card” means any instrument or device, whether known as a credit

card, credit plate, charge plate, debit card, or by any other name

issued with or without fee by an issuer for the use of the

cardholder in obtaining goods, service, or anything of value on

credit which is accepted by over one thousand merchants in this

state. The Commission shall promulgate rules to allow for the

implementation of payment of taxes and fees by credit or debit card.

B. All remittances by bank draft, check, cashier's check, or

money order, collected pursuant to any law, Commission rule, or

order, shall be made payable to the Corporation Commission. The

Commission shall issue its receipt, for cash or money payment to the

remitter. No remittance other than cash shall be in full discharge

of liability due the Corporation Commission unless and until it

shall have been paid in cash. All money collected, including

service or convenience fees, shall be deposited with the State

Treasurer of this state.

C. There shall be assessed, in addition to any other penalties

provided for by law, an administrative service fee of Twenty Dollars

($20.00) on each check returned to the Corporation Commission or any

agent by reason of the refusal of the bank upon which the check was

drawn to honor the same.

D. Upon the return of any check by reason of the refusal of the

bank upon which the check was drawn to honor the same, the

Corporation Commission may file a bogus check complaint with the

appropriate district attorney who shall refer the complaint to the

Bogus Check Restitution Program established by Section 111 of Title

22 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Funds collected by the program, after

collection of the fee authorized by Section 114 of Title 22 of the

Oklahoma Statutes, shall be transmitted to the Corporation

Commission and credited to the liability for which the returned

check was drawn and to the administrative service fee provided by

this section.
