Refiners and processors to obtain permit - Bond - Failure to secure permit

All persons operating refineries or processing plants engaged in the business of refining or processing of oil or gas, upon which there is paid or payable gross production tax, shall secure a permit which shall be in the form of a license from the Tax Commission, by making application upon forms prescribed by it, and the Tax Commission may, at its option and discretion, require a bond from any such person before the issuance of such permit; any bond required herein by the Tax Commission shall be for the purpose of indemnifying the State of Oklahoma against loss by reason of nonpayment of gross production tax upon any oil or gas refined or processed in such refineries or processing plants. In all cases where such permit is not secured, the State of Oklahoma may institute, upon relation of the Tax Commission, suit to restrain such person from operating such refinery or processing plant, until such permit is secured.
