Okla. Admin. Code § 595:25-3-4

Current through Vol. 42, No. 3, October 15, 2024

Section 595:25-3-4 - Trade name

(a) Each operator shall use a unique trade name which shall be printed and appear on the license and shall be clearly distinguishable from the trade name of any other operator.

(b) Upon written request by the operator, the Department may change the trade name of a wrecker or towing service if there is no change in ownership. The identifying number shall be retained and no license fee shall be assessed.

(c) Any change in ownership due to sale, merger, dissolution, or any other reason, except as provided in subsection (d), shall reserve the wrecker service trade name for a period of ninety (90) days, during which time the successor or owner shall apply for a wrecker license using the same trade name or another trade name. However, the successor may not operate as a licensed wrecker service until the application has been accepted and approved by the Department.

(d) When the owner of a sole-proprietorship wrecker service dies, the wrecker license shall be considered cancelled by the Department effective upon the date of the death of the owner. Upon the death of the wrecker service owner, the wrecker service shall be immediately removed from Oklahoma Highway Patrol rotation. The heirs shall apply for a reinstatement of the wrecker service license using the same name and the same Department-assigned number; provided, the application shall be treated by the Department as a new application, and all procedures and fees shall apply.
