SECTION 465:1-7-2. Proceedings initiated by person or entity

(a)   Informal Complaint. Any person or entity including a current licensee of this Commission, can file an informal complaint, in writing, on forms prescribed by the Commission, against any licensee of this Commission. Complaint forms may be obtained from the Commission. The Executive Director, or his designee, will attempt to bring about an informal resolution and determine if any violations of Motor Vehicle Commission Law have occurred.

(b)   Formal Complaint. Any person or entity including a current licensee of the Commission can initiate an individual proceeding to consider the suspension or revocation of the license issued by the Commission to any of its licensees or the imposition of a fine against any of these licensees by filing with the Commission, in writing, a formal complaint requesting a hearing, alleging that this licensee has violated any of the provisions of the Oklahoma Motor Vehicle Commission Act, 47 O.S. 1981, Section 561, et seq. (as Amended) or any of the provisions of this Title.

(c)   Hearing.

(1)   Upon its receipt of a written formal complaint as described in (b) of this Section, the Commission shall set the matter for a hearing and provide both the complainant and the affected licensee(s) with appropriate notice thereof.

(2)   At any hearing held to consider a complaint as provided by (b) of this Section, the complainant shall be a party to such hearing and shall have all the rights and privileges attendant thereto as provided by law. The Commission shall act in a quasi-judicial capacity as such an adversarial hearing and shall not itself introduce evidence or otherwise act as a party. The Commission shall, however, have the right to direct questions at any witness appearing at the hearing.
