Section 260:135-3-38 - Procedures for reporting and collecting returned checks on driver license
Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024
The procedures in this Section should be followed by the licensed operator in the event a check deposited in payment of a driver license is returned unpaid:
(1) Notice of returned check. Upon receiving notification by the bank that a check which was written for a driver license has been returned unpaid, the agent will pick up the check and complete a notice of returned check (SOk Form 774A) to be sent to the maker of the check. Deposit of the check must be attempted twice.
(2) Penalties on driver license returned checks. The licensed operator may charge the maker of the returned check a service charge fee of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00), as set forth by statute, provided two attempts were made to deposit the check. Should the depositing bank refuse to accept the dishonored check a second (2nd) time, it shall be treated as if two (2) attempts had been made.
(3) Procedures if returned check is uncollectible; obtaining credit to licensed operator's account; subsequent payment. If a licensed operator is unable to collect a returned check written for a driver license, the licensed operator must send the returned check to Service Oklahoma, along with the licensed operator's file copy of the driver license report. Service Oklahoma will credit the licensed operator's ledger account in the full amount of the driver license transaction. The licensed operator will forward directly to Service Oklahoma a copy of the returned check and a copy of the documents on the driver license. Service Oklahoma will send a letter advising the holder of the driver license that the license is invalid, driving privileges are canceled, and payment for the returned check must be made to the licensed operator. When collecting for a driver license returned check, the licensed operator will collect the amount of the returned check, plus the service charge and remit the original check amount to Service Oklahoma, while retaining the Twenty-five Dollar ($25.00) service charge. Service Oklahoma will return the check to its maker. The licensed operator will notify Service Oklahoma when the returned check has been paid.
(4) Driver license returned checks to be forwarded to Service Oklahoma; time limits. All insufficient checks for which payment is not received are to be sent to Service Oklahoma within thirty (30) days of retrieval from the depository bank.
