SECTION 595:30-3-7. Establishing a monthly billing account

  The Size and Weight Permit Division may authorize monthly billing accounts for individuals, companies, and corporations to defer payment of special permits issued for oversize and overweight vehicles. A monthly billing account will be established in accordance with the following provisions:

(1)   Posting of bond.

(A)   A bond must be posted in an amount sufficient to cover the monthly billing. The minimum amount of such bond shall be Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00).

(B)   The bonding company must be approved by the Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner to do business in Oklahoma and maintain such approval during the term of the bond.

(C)   The bond must be on a form prepared by the Department of Public Safety. The completed original form must be submitted to the Department for final approval. The form may be obtained by contacting the Size and Weight Permit Division of the Department of Public Safety.

(D)   The surety company must notify the Department by written notice a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to cancellation or reduction of the amount of coverage and state the effective date of the change in coverage. The surety company shall send the notice by certified mail to the Size and Weight Permit Division.

(E)   It is the responsibility of the company holding the bond to give the monthly billing account number only to persons qualified to use the account. Establishing an account implies full agreement to the terms of the account and any related activities thereof. Sharing your password with anyone, is a violation of our agreement, as it may compromise the account holder's confidential information and could result in outside charges on your account for which you will be responsible and liable. The charges incurred on your account are the responsibility of the owner as described in the profile, no matter who makes the actual charge. Once the bond has been approved by the Department of Public Safety, notification of the monthly billing account number will be given. Information concerning accounts may be obtained by calling [phone] or 405-522-2290.

(2)   Payment of account. Each monthly billing account will be invoiced at the first of each month. Payment must be received by the Department of Public Safety at 2401 Northwest 23rd Street, Suite 45, Oklahoma City, OK 73107 by the fifteenth (15th) day of the invoice month. Accounts which are not paid will not be issued permits until the account is paid. Accounts not paid by the twentieth (20th) day of the invoice month will be sent to the bonding company for collection. The Department may close any account for which the deferred payment is habitually delinquent.
