A. 1. Final orders of the Department may be appealed to the Supreme Court of Oklahoma pursuant to this section and the Administrative Procedures Act, Section 301 et seq. of Title 75 of the Oklahoma Statutes, by any party directly affected or aggrieved by the order.
2. An appeal shall be commenced by filing with the clerk of the Supreme Court, within thirty (30) days from the date of the order or decision, a petition in error with a copy of the order or decision appealed from. The time limit prescribed herein for filing the petition in error may not be extended. The manner of perfection of the record of the proceedings to be reviewed and the time for its completion shall be in accordance with rules prescribed by the Supreme Court.
3. The appeal shall not stay the execution of any order or decision of the Department unless the Supreme Court, for cause shown, shall order that said decision or order be stayed pending such appeal pursuant to Section 319 of Title 75 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
4. The Court shall give great weight to findings made and inferences drawn by the Department on questions of fact. The Court may affirm the decision or remand the case for further proceedings. Additionally, the Court may reverse or modify the decision if substantial rights of the appellant have been prejudiced because the findings, inferences or conclusions are not supported by substantial evidence in the record.
B. If an appeal pursuant to subsection A of this section is not made by the person to whom such an order is directed within thirty (30) days after notice has been sent to the parties, the order of the Department shall become final and binding on all parties and shall be docketed with the district court in the county of the residence of the violator, or the district court in the county in which the violation occurred. The order shall be enforced in the same manner as an order of the district court.
