Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) "Location," as
			 used in this rule, means the area prescribed by the registrar and described in
			 the request for proposals for deputy registrar appointees in which the proposed
			 deputy registrar site must be located.
(B) "Site," as used in this rule, means the
			 precise address proposed for the deputy registrar agency.
(C) "One-stop shopping" means an arrangement,
			 prescribed or approved by the registrar, in which the deputy registrar site is
			 located in the same facility as, or within a prescribed distance of, a
			  driver's license
			 examination station or a clerk of the court of common pleas title office or
			 both.
(D) "Department of public
			 safety," as used in this rule, means the department of public safety or any
			 division thereof.
(E) "Clerk of a court of common pleas," as
			 used in this rule, means the office of the clerk itself and the county
			 government in which the clerk serves.
(F) The registrar may designate a location
			 for one-stop shopping in conjunction with the requirements contained in
			 paragraphs (G), (H), (I), and (J) of this rule.
(G) The registrar of motor vehicles may
			 restrict the location of any particular deputy registrar agency to a single
			 site. The department of public safety may lease or otherwise acquire space for
			 sublease to a deputy registrar or a clerk of a court of common pleas or
			 both.
(H) The registrar may
			 designate a site at which the deputy registrar is required to sublease space
			 from the department of public safety or a clerk of a court of common pleas, if
			 the clerk consents. In such case the deputy registrar site shall be available
			 for sublease to any qualified proposer on an equal basis.
(I) The registrar may designate a location
			 within which the deputy registrar is required to provide and sublease space to
			 the department of public safety or a clerk of a court of common pleas or
			 both.
(J) In all subleases between
			 the department of public safety and a deputy registrar, the sublessee shall pay
			 to the sublessor a rental fee equal to the percentage of space occupied by the
			 sublessee multiplied by the rental fee or mortgage cost paid by the sublessor
			 for the entire premises. In calculating the rental fees the sublessee shall
			 also pay a pro rata share of the rental for common space. In addition to the
			 rental fee, the sublessee shall pay a pro rata share of all utility costs
			 unless the utilities are separately metered, in which case each sublessee shall
			 pay its own utility costs. If approved by the
			 department of public safety, the sublessee may make all necessary payments
			 directly to the lessor.
(K)
			 The registrar may, in the request for proposals, designate a location for
			 one-stop shopping to encourage that the deputy registrar site be located close
			 to either 
								a driver's license examination station or
			 
								a clerk
			 of the court of common pleas title office or both. The registrar may give
			 consideration to sites situated in the same building, in an adjacent building,
			 within the same block or business district or shopping center or within a
			 certain distance, or any combination of the foregoing.
(L) Any deputy registrar whose contract
			 expires or is terminated for any reason shall take reasonable measures to make
			 the telephone number assigned to the deputy registrar available to the bureau
			 of motor vehicles or any deputy registrar designated by it.
