Okla. Stat. tit. 62, § 62-396: Registration of bonds
Where this section sits in the code
- OK Code
- Title 62
The clerk of every county, city, town, township, school district
and board of education, issuing bonds under Sections 391 et seq. of
this title shall register the same in his office. Such bonds shall
also, in every case, be registered by the county clerk, showing the
date, number and amount thereof, rate of interest, to whom payable,
where payable, date of maturity, and, if optional, under what
conditions; and all indebtedness refunded under this article shall
have the words "paid in full" marked in a plain manner across the
face of each bond, or warrant refunded; and such canceled
obligations shall be carefully preserved in the office of the county
clerk or destroyed by the county commissioners, a register of the
number, amount and date of issue having been first made by the
county clerk. The proper officer shall, at the time of issuing
refunding bonds, make out and transfer to the State Auditor and
Inspector a certified statement of all proceedings had by the proper
board or city council as shown of record and that said bonds have
been issued for value in all respects in conformity to this article
for certain indebtedness to be surrendered, definitely describing
the bonds issued and the indebtedness to be surrendered, in exchange
therefor and that they have been duly registered by the attesting
clerk and the county clerk as required herein; which statement shall
be in such form and include such other information as the State
Auditor and Inspector may require, and be signed by all the officers
whose signatures are attached to such bonds, and attested by the
proper clerk, with the corporate seal of the county, city, town,
township, school district or board of education, if any, and duly
acknowledged before the county clerk. And the State Auditor and
Inspector shall, upon being satisfied that such bonds have been
issued according to the provisions of this article, and that the
signatures thereto of the officers signing the same are genuine,
register the same in his office in a book kept for that purpose and
shall, under his seal of office, certify upon such bonds the fact
that they have been registered in his office according to law.
Nothing in Sections 391 et seq. of this title shall be construed to
prohibit options available under the Registered Public Obligations
Act of Oklahoma.
