The Oklahoma Tax Commission, from its inception in 1931, has been responsible for the collection and administration of various tax sources and the apportionment of these revenues to state funds which provide monies for education, transportation, recreation, social welfare, and the myriad of other services provided for the citizens of Oklahoma.
    (b)   Composition. The Tax Commission is comprised of three members (Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Secretary-Member) who are appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the State Senate and serve terms of six years each. The Commission appoints an administrator who is the administrator officer of the Commission and manages the activities of its employees. The title of the administrative officer shall be Executive Director.
    (c)   Duties. It is the Commission's responsibility to supervise the administration and enforcement of state tax laws and the collection of a majority of all state-levied taxes and fees.

In addition, the Oklahoma Tax Commission allocates directly to local units of government certain state-collected levies earmarked to counties, school districts and municipalities.
