Where this section sits in the code
  1. OK Code
  2. Title 60

Any mineral interest in land in Oklahoma shall be subject to

sale under the provisions of Sections 271.1 through 277 of Title 84

of the Oklahoma Statutes if it generates an intangible property

interest which is presumed abandoned for a period of fifteen (15)

years under the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act or under similar laws

of another state.

All holders of intangible property interests generated by a

mineral interest in land in Oklahoma shall report to the State

Treasurer, in addition to the reporting otherwise required by law,

the names and the last-known addresses of owners of record of the

unclaimed mineral interest, the legal description of the land

affected, and the extent of the property rights in the mineral

interest. Only one report with respect to each owner and mineral

interest is necessary; subsequent reports must include complete

information with respect to all new owners and new unclaimed mineral

interests.

The State Treasurer shall send a copy of the report required by

this section to the Attorney General and the district attorney of

the county in which the land is located. Except to a claimant of

the unclaimed mineral interest, or as necessary to effectuate a

judicial sale as set forth in Section 271.1 of Title 84 of the

Oklahoma Statutes, the legal description of the mineral interest and

the extent of the property rights in the mineral interest shall be

deemed confidential and not released to the general public by the

State Treasurer, Attorney General or district attorney. The State

Treasurer shall send a report reflecting only the names and last-

known addresses of owners of record of the unclaimed mineral

interest to the county clerk of the county in which the land is

located, and the clerk shall maintain the list for public viewing.

The clerk shall also report to the board of county commissioners

that the report has been received, and note the receipt in the

minutes of the meeting, so the public can be informed.

The State Treasurer is authorized to develop procedures for the

implementation of the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act.
