(a) The location of
				  the applicant's designated Service Oklahoma location shall not be within a
				  three (3) mile radius of an existing Service Oklahoma location unless the
				  applicant is purchasing an operating Service Oklahoma location. The Service
				  Oklahoma Operator Board may, at its discretion, approve the relocation of an
				  existing Service Oklahoma location within a three (3) mile radius of another
				  existing Service Oklahoma location only if a naturally intervening geographic
				  barrier within that radius causes the locations to be separated by not less
				  than three (3) miles of roadway by the most direct route.
(b) No licensed operator shall select a
				  location owned by a member or an employee of Service Oklahoma or to any person
				  related to a member or an employee of Service Oklahoma within the third degree
				  of consanguinity (by blood relation), affinity (by marriage), or
				  adoption.
(c) The number of
				  employees at a specific Service Oklahoma location is to be determined by the
				  licensed operator subject to the approval of the Service Oklahoma Operator
				  Board.
(d) The licensed operator
				  shall maintain adequate equipment to accommodate the employees of the Service
				  Oklahoma location and sufficient seating arrangements for the applicants as
				  determined by the Service Oklahoma Operator Board.
(e) The Service Oklahoma Operator Board shall
				  determine the amount of office space the licensed operator shall maintain to
				  provide a working area for the employees which is separate from the waiting
				  area of the public. However, the amount of such office space shall not be less
				  than Eight Hundred (800) square feet.
(f) The Service Oklahoma Operator Board shall
				  determine the amount of public parking the licensed operator shall maintain.
				  However, the number of parking spaces shall not be less than five (5) with at
				  least one (1) space reserved for disabled persons. It shall be the
				  responsibility of the licensed operator to ensure compliance with all
				  applicable local and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) parking and customer
				  access requirements.
(g) In
				  addition to the payment of costs required by OAC
				  260:135-3-37 for new licensed
				  operators, existing licensed operators shall be responsible for all costs
				  incurred by Service Oklahoma when relocating an existing Service Oklahoma
				  location. Such payment may be waived by Service Oklahoma in case of emergency
				  or unforeseen business conditions beyond the control of the agent.
(h) The licensed operator shall provide and
				  maintain, within the Service Oklahoma location, a personal computer with
				  internet access for use during normal business hours. The personal computer
				  equipment provided by the licensed operator must satisfy the technical
				  requirements established for such equipment by the Service Oklahoma Operator
				  Board. Should those technical requirements change, it shall be the
				  responsibility of the licensed operator to upgrade or replace their personal
				  computer equipment as necessary to remain in continuous compliance.
