Okla. Stat. tit. 47, § 47-2-106.2A: Transfer of powers and duties

All the powers, duties, functions, records, employees, property,

matters pending and funds of the Department of Highways, the Highway

Safety Coordinating Committee and the Railroad Maintenance Authority

are hereby transferred to the Department of Transportation.

Effective July 1, 1993, all powers, duties, functions, records,

employees, matters pending and funds of the Department of

Transportation that were transferred to the Department because of

the abolishment of the Highway Safety Coordinating Committee shall

be transferred to the Department of Public Safety, pursuant to

Section 3 of this act. Except as specifically directed by the

Legislature the State Department of Transportation shall not fund,

directly or indirectly, any railroad, mass transit, public

transportation, marine, waterways or aeronautics construction,

operations or maintenance with dedicated gasoline taxes,

appropriated highway construction or maintenance funds or other

highway funds; provided, however, that nothing herein contained

shall be construed to prevent the Department of Transportation from

applying for, accepting, receiving, administering or expending

monies appropriated for the specific purpose of matching federal

grants now or hereafter made available for transportation planning

or improvements in nonhighway transportation modes. The Department

of Transportation shall not issue bonds which constitute an

obligation or debt of the state or a pledge of the faith and credit

of the state, except as specifically authorized by the Legislature.

Any change of agency name/names on signs, equipment, vehicles or

other property shall be accomplished as said signs, equipment,

vehicles or other property are replaced in inventory or as required

through normal wear and tear. An accurate, current inventory of all

properties shall be maintained by the Department of Transportation.
