Upon surrendering the license or card for the reason set forth in this subsection, application may be made with Service Oklahoma for a replacement license or card bearing the words "Sex Offender". 4. Failure to comply with the requirements set forth in such notice shall result in cancellation of the person's license or card. Such cancellation shall be in effect for one (1) year, after which time the person may make application with Service Oklahoma for a new license or card bearing the words "Sex Offender". Continued use of a canceled license or card shall constitute a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction thereof, be punishable by a fine of not less than Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00), nor more than Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00).
