C. In the performance of its duties, as prescribed by this section, the Oklahoma Tax Commission, or any duly authorized representative thereof, shall have the power to administer oaths, to conduct hearings and to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of the books, records and papers of any person, firm, association, or corporation, and to enter any business or commercial premises and inspect the property of the taxpayer.

Prior to entering the business or commercial premises of any taxpayer for purposes of discovering personal property, the Oklahoma Tax Commission shall request permission to enter the business or commercial premises and shall state the reason for the inspection. If access to the business or commercial premises is denied, the Oklahoma Tax Commission shall be required to obtain a search warrant in order to conduct an inspection of the interior of the business or commercial premises.
