Exceptions.

No products, wares, or merchandise produced, manufactured, or

mined, wholly or in part, by convicts or prisoners of this state,

who are employed in the state prison industries program, may be

offered for sale, sold, exchanged, or distributed in this state,

whether contained in the original package or otherwise. This

section shall not prohibit the sale or distribution of such

products, wares, or merchandise by or for the state to departments,

institutions, or agencies administered and supported by the state or

its political subdivisions, and any other wholly or partially tax-

supported institutions, or nonprofit charitable agencies for

distribution to the needy. This section shall not prohibit the sale

or distribution of such products, wares, or merchandise produced by

Oklahoma Correctional Industries or products produced by the Agri-

Services Division of the Department of Corrections by or for sale to

employees or retirees of the State of Oklahoma, or to employees or

retirees of any political subdivision of the state. This section

shall not prohibit the sale or distribution of housing components

produced by Oklahoma Correctional Industries by or for sale to any

community action agency or council of governments within this state.

This section shall not prohibit the sale of brick and building tile

or furniture manufactured by said state institutions to churches

which are located in the State of Oklahoma. All purchase orders

made pursuant to the provisions of this section for such brick or

building tile or furniture shall contain an affidavit stating that

the brick or building tile shall not be used for purposes other than

for the building of churches, or that the furniture shall not be

used for any purpose other than church purposes. If said state

departments, institutions, agencies, or nonprofit charitable

agencies do not buy or contract to buy in advance of the season for

which said wares or goods are made, and make a satisfactory

guarantee to the Office of Management and Enterprise Services for

fulfillment of their contract to purchase all the output, the state

may then sell in open market any such goods or wares not generally

manufactured in this state. The provisions of this section shall

not apply to the sale or distribution of surplus perishable,

agricultural products nor to individual articles made by hand by

prisoners during their leisure time. This section shall not be

construed as preventing the Office of Management and Enterprise

Services or other state agency or agencies from manufacturing and

selling such goods, wares, or merchandise as are not generally

manufactured in this state.
