What it required

Every person must comply with the rules, regulations and orders of the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, on pain of a misdemeanor of up to six months and $3,000 for each day; the Attorney General may sue for injunctions against any person who 'Violates or fails or refuses to comply with any order or decision issued by the OEM' (subsection A); the Department of Public Safety, the OSBI and the Tax Commission 'shall assist the OEM in the enforcement of any rule, regulation or order' (subsection D). The Governor has 'general direction and control' of the OEM (63 O.S. 683.8(A)).

Retrieval note

Recorded exactly: the penalty runs to rules, regulations and orders 'of the OEM'; The compulsion of the State orders on businesses ran through the licensing regimes (ABLE Commission; OSDH food licenses under 63 O.S. 1-1118), the municipal ordinances and proclamations with their own penalties (Oklahoma City Municipal Code sec. 15-40, Ex. OK-052, OK-053; Tulsa Penal Code Title 27 and EO 2020-15 citation authority, Ex. OK-064, OK-066, OK-067; Norman sec. 11-1106, Ex. OK-080), the quarantine offenses (DUT-OK-002, DUT-OK-004), the loss of the liability shield (DUT-OK-013) and the tort consequence recognized in Ho (DUT-OK-019).
