Rules - Enforcement.

A. The board of directors of a port authority shall have the

authority to establish rules for the regulation of the use of

vehicles within the real property under its direct control of the

port authority. The rules shall be consistent with the laws of this

state governing the operation of vehicles on public streets and

highways. Penalties for violation of these rules shall be no

greater than the penalties for the same or similar violations of

state law. The rules may include, but need not be limited to, the

following:

1. The operation of vehicles within the jurisdiction of the

port authority including, but not limited to, speed, stopping, and

parking; and

2. The type, size, and weight of vehicles which may be operated

within the jurisdiction of the port authority.

B. The rules of the board of directors promulgated pursuant to

this subsection including any amendments shall be filed with the

county clerk and court clerk of each county in which the port

authority is located at least thirty (30) days prior to becoming

effective. Copies of the regulations shall be furnished to any

person desiring to travel within the jurisdiction of the port

authority upon request without charge.

C. The port authority shall post appropriate permanent signs at

every entrance to the jurisdiction of the port authority indicating

that the use of vehicles within the jurisdiction is subject to the

rules of the port authority. The port authority shall also post

appropriate permanent traffic control signs or devices including,

but not limited to, stop signs and speed limit signs. Such signs

shall be the same as or similar to signs used by the Oklahoma

Department of Transportation for the same or similar purposes.

D. Rules adopted by the port authority pursuant to this section

shall be enforced by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

E. The district court of the county in which the headquarters

of the port authority is located shall have jurisdiction to hear and

determine violations of the rules of the port authority in the same

manner as the same or similar violations of state law. Appeals from

decisions of the district court in cases involving violations of the

rules of the port authority promulgated pursuant to this section

shall be to the Court of Criminal Appeals in the same manner as the

same or similar violations of state law.

F. Nothing in this section shall be construed to alter or

prevent any concurrent or overlapping jurisdiction by other law

enforcement agencies or courts.
