(c)No conflict policy. No special license plate can be issued which conflicts with the regular plate numbering system.

(d)Non-offensive content policy. No special license plate will be issued if the proposed message may be deemed offensive to the general public, in the context of display of the message on a state-issued license plate, under the guidelines in OAC 260:135-7-149(c).

(e)Fees. Special license plate fees are set by statute and, with certain statutory exceptions, are collected in addition to annual registration fees required by the Oklahoma Vehicle License and Registration Act.

Renewal decals may be obtained from either a licensed operator or Service Oklahoma for all special license plates except Physically Disabled, Hearing Impaired/Deaf, Amateur Radio, Vintage and Municipal Official plates which may be renewed only through Service Oklahoma. Special license plates are issued on a staggered expiration system, except for amateur radio plates and vintage decals.

(g)Discontinuance of a special license plate. As set forth by statute, certain types of special license plates have minimum issuance requirements and provisions for the discontinuance of plate types that do not meet those requirements.

(h)Authorization of new special license plates. Service Oklahoma is authorized to design and issue new special license plate types to any person that applies to Service Oklahoma for the creation of a special license plate and meets the conditions and minimum standards outlined by statute.
