A. No person shall engage in the money services business in this state without first securing a license to do so from the Commissioner. Any person acting as agent or authorized delegate for any licensee under the Oklahoma Financial Transaction Reporting Act shall prominently display a copy of the principal's license certificate at each place of business of the agent or authorized delegate where money transmitter services are offered. It shall be the responsibility of the licensee to provide a copy of the license certificate to each agent or authorized delegate for display and to obtain the return of such copy if an agent or authorized delegate is no longer authorized to conduct business on behalf of a licensee.
B. Upon the effective date of this act, a supplier shall provide to the Commissioner, on a form prescribed by the Commissioner, a list of each person to whom money transmitter equipment has been provided. A licensee shall provide the Commissioner a list of each person acting in Oklahoma as agent or authorized delegate on behalf of the licensee. The list shall be updated each calendar quarter and shall be provided to the Commissioner within thirty (30) days after the close of the calendar quarter. The updated list shall reflect any additional persons to whom money transmitter equipment has been provided since the last reporting period. The list need only identify those persons for whom the supplier has an address in this state or who the supplier reasonably believes to be operating in this state.
C. Each application filed for issuance or renewal of a money transmitter license must be accompanied by a fee in an amount prescribed by the board. Notwithstanding any other deadlines or terms prescribed by the board, a money transmitter license certificate may be issued without a termination date; provided, however, the license certificate must be renewed no later than December 31 each calendar year.
D. Any person who violates the provisions of this section shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), or by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one (1) year, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Each day that any violation of this section occurs or continues shall constitute a separate offense and shall be punishable as a separate violation.
E. Any licensee providing money transmission services to Oklahoma residents primarily through electronic means must maintain security in the amount prescribed by rule of the board but not less than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00).
F. All fees collected under this section shall be deposited in the Department revolving fund pursuant to Section 211.1 of this title.
