Okla. Stat. tit. 36, § 36-2727.1: Annual license

Societies which are authorized prior to the effective date of

this act to transact business in this state may continue such

business until the last day of February next succeeding the

effective date of this act. The authority of such societies and of

all societies licensed on and after the effective date of this act

may be renewed annually, to terminate in all cases on the last day

of the succeeding February. However, a license so issued shall

continue in full force and effect until the new license is issued or

specifically refused. For each such license or renewal the society

shall pay to the Insurance Commissioner the fee stated in Section

321 of Title 36 of the Oklahoma Statutes. A duly certified copy or

duplicate of such license shall be prima facie evidence that the

licensee is a fraternal benefit society within the meaning of this

article.
