[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 2702955, member: 1535"] Money collected for state tag fees is shared by the state and the school districts in the county where each tag is bought. Money collected for tribal tags goes to the tribe. Each tribal council decides how the money is spent. Most of the money goes to tribal educational and health care programs. Some tribes allocate funds to non-Indian community services, said Mary Williams, administrator of the Osage tribe's tax commission and president of the Oklahoma Intertribal Tax Association. Of the state's 39 tribes, 15 are selling vehicle tags, Williams said. Tribal plates can be issued only to tribal members, and the tribal tags only can go on vehicles that are kept in the jurisdictional boundaries of the specific tribe. Most tribes selling their own tags average in size between 2,500 and 3,000 members, said Barbara Warner, executive director of the state Indian Affairs Commission. Some are smaller, such as the 200-member Modoc tribe. She said the impact on state revenue is minimal, considering that fewer than half of the members in the tribes are licensed drivers. Not every tribal member buys a tribal plate, though in most cases they are cheaper than what the state charges, Warner said. Tags can be bought only at tribal headquarters unlike state tags, which are available in every county. [/QUOTE]
