trailer or commercial trailer - Temporary license plate - Unlawful

acts and penalties.

The purchaser of every new motor vehicle, travel trailer, or

commercial trailer shall register or license the same within thirty

two (2) months from the date of purchase. It shall be the

responsibility of the selling dealer to place a temporary license

plate, in size similar to the permanent Oklahoma license plate but

of a weatherproof plastic-impregnated substance approved by the

Oklahoma New Motor Vehicle Commission, upon a new motor vehicle,

travel trailer, or commercial trailer when a transaction is

completed for the sale of the vehicle or trailer. Except for cab

and chassis trucks, the temporary license plate under this section

shall be placed at the location provided for the permanent motor

vehicle license plate. The purchaser of a new cab and chassis truck

may place the temporary license plate under this section in the rear

window. The temporary license plate shall show the dealer’s license

number which is issued to him or her each year by Service Oklahoma,

the date the new motor vehicle, travel trailer, or commercial

trailer was purchased, and the company name of the selling dealer.

The Commission is hereby directed to develop a temporary license

plate design to incorporate these requirements in a manner that will

permit law enforcement personnel to readily identify the dealer

license number and date of the vehicle purchase. The Commission is

further authorized to develop additional requirements and parameters

designed to discourage or prevent illegal duplication and use of the

temporary license plate. On or before two (2) months from the date

of purchase of a new motor vehicle, travel trailer, or commercial

trailer, the temporary license plate shall be removed and replaced

with a permanent, current Oklahoma license plate. Use of the

temporary license plate by a licensed dealer for other than the

purpose of normally doing business shall constitute grounds for

revocation of the dealer’s license.

It shall be unlawful for any licensed dealer of new motor

vehicles, travel trailers, or commercial trailers to procure the

registration and licensing of any new motor vehicle, travel trailer,

or commercial trailer sold by such licensed dealer or to act as the

agent for such purchaser in the procurement of the registration and

licensing. The license of any licensed dealer of new motor

vehicles, travel trailers, or commercial trailers violating the

provisions of this section shall be revoked.
