A state agency that oversees automobile dealerships has issued more than 100 sanctions in the past year to dealerships connected with employing unlicensed salespeople.
The penalties - fees in lieu of fines or outright fines - were levied by the Oklahoma Motor Vehicle Commission, which oversees vehicle dealerships and salespeople in the state.
Many of the sanctions stem from a state law prohibiting agencies from issuing new or renewed licenses to individuals not in compliance with state income tax obligations, said Roy Dockum, executive director of the commission.
