- (a) Refunds of monies paid to the Agency for licensing or brand registration will be made in the following circumstances:
- (1) Whenever the amount payable for an original license or renewal has been received by the Director and such application or renewal has been denied,
- (2) Whenever a license is transferred from one location to another, calling for a smaller license fee, in which event the pro rata difference will be refunded,
- (3) Whenever the applicant has withdrawn the application for a license or renewal before a final decision has been made to grant or deny the application or renewal,
- (4) Whenever an applicant has erroneously made duplicate payments for the same license application, or
- (5) Whenever an application for a brand registration has been denied.
- (b) If a license fee has been paid and the license has been denied or the applicant withdrew the application before a final decision was made, the Agency shall refund to the applicant the amount of the tendered fee, less ten percent (10%) which the agency shall retain as a cost of processing the application.
- (c) If the application for a brand registration fee has been paid and the brand registration has been denied, the Agency shall refund the amount of the tendered registration fee, less 25% of such fee which the Agency shall retain as a cost of processing the application.
- (d) No claim for refund will be considered unless it is filed within 30 days of the date of payment by the applicant or licensee or the date of withdrawal by the applicant or denial by the Agency (whichever is later). Further, no claim for refund after denial will be considered until the time for hearing or appeal has passed and the Agency’s decision has become final. Finally, refund requests must be sent via email to able_finance@able.ok.gov for review by the Director. This rule shall not be construed to limit or modify Section 2-142 of Title 37A of the Oklahoma Statutes.
