Whenever any nonresident owning any motor bus, truck, truck-tractor, trailer or semitrailer, which has been registered under the laws of another state and bears a current registration from such state, brings such vehicle into this state, for the purpose of using the vehicle for hire or other commercial purpose, for a temporary period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days, such person may, immediately after entering this state, upon the filing of an application therefor with Service Oklahoma, and the payment of a license fee equal to one-eighth (1/8) of the annual license fee required of such vehicle, register same for a period of thirty (30) days in lieu of obtaining an annual registration and license therefor; he may upon payment of one-fourth (1/4) of the annual license fee register it for a period of sixty (60) days or for ninety (90) days upon the payment of three-eighths (3/8) of the annual license fee in lieu of obtaining annual registration and license therefor. Upon failure of any person to obtain or renew this temporary license when first available, the fee due for the remaining portion of the year shall become due and must be paid.B.

Service Oklahoma will issue a certificate of registration covering each temporary license provided by the terms of this section.C. Provided, however, that the provisions of this section for temporary licenses shall not apply to the residents of any other state when the laws of such other state do not provide temporary licensing for approximately comparable license fees for vehicles being used in such other state by residents of Oklahoma under the same or substantially similar purposes, terms and conditions; and, provided further that, irrespective of the amount of the temporary license fees provided in this section, the amount of any temporary license fee for a vehicle of a resident of any such state shall be determined and fixed by Service Oklahoma in the amount, or the approximate total amount, of any license fee and any other taxes, including property and mileage taxes, required by the laws of such other state to be paid by a resident of Oklahoma making the same use of a similar vehicle in such state.Okla.
