New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 15 - Department of Motor Vehicles › Chapter I - REGULATIONS OF THE COMMISSIONER › Subchapter F - BUSINESSES REQUIRING LICENSES › Part 76 - Drivers' Schools › Registration Procedure › Section 76.4 - Branch offices

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) A branch
					 office of a drivers' school is an office in a building other than the main
					 office, utilizing the same business name, where some of the business functions
					 of the drivers' school are transacted. A drivers' school desiring to open one
					 or more branch offices must do so by filing an application for permission to
					 operate a branch office. If the application is approved, the commissioner will
					 issue a branch office license which must be permanently displayed in such
					 office at all times. Such branch office license will be issued for a period
					 expiring at the same time as the license of such drivers' school; and for the
					 issuance and each renewal thereof there shall be paid a fee of $1.50 for each
					 full year or any part thereof.
(b)
					 Where the applicant for a branch office is conducting business under an assumed
					 name, and the branch office is to be located in a county other than that in
					 which the business is presently located, the applicant must submit with his
					 application a copy of the certificate of assumed business name, certified by
					 the clerk of the county in which such branch office is to be located, or a copy
					 of the filing receipt obtained from the Secretary of State's office.
(c) No branch office may be removed to a new
					 location without prior permission from the commissioner. If a branch office is
					 discontinued, the license must be surrendered within 10 days after termination
					 of business to the driver's school unit in the central office of the Department
					 of Motor Vehicles, Albany, New York which issued such license, together with
					 all certificates of instructors, if any, whose employment by or association
					 with the licensee has been terminated upon the discontinuance of such branch
					 office; there should also be filed a notice on form MV-526 signed by the school
					 manager for each and every instructor whose certificate is so voided, setting
					 forth his name, address and certificate number and the total amount of logged
					 time rendered by such instructor in behind-the-wheel instruction for the
					 account of the school.
(d) Each
					 branch office must be equipped to, and shall, perform at such location
					 substantially the same services as are supplied at the principal place of
					 business.
(e) No branch office
					 license will be issued unless there shall be designated in the application
					 therefor a manager of such branch who shall not be the manager of the main
					 office or of another branch. However, in the case of an individual
					 proprietorship, the proprietor, and in the case of a partnership, one of the
					 partners, if to be actively engaged as the manager of such branch, as certified
					 by the application for such branch license, may be designated as such branch
					 manager.
(f) The issuance of any
					 branch license shall be subject to each and every of the same requirements and
					 conditions as are set forth in section
					 76.2  of this
					 Part.
