Ohio Administrative Code › Title 4501:1 - Bureau of Motor Vehicles › Chapter 4501:1-6 - Registrars and Deputy Registrars › Section 4501:1-6-05 - Deputy registrar authority to collect reinstatement fees

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								 With the approval of the director of public safety,
			 the registrar of motor vehicles shall establish a procedure for authorizing
			 deputy registrars who meet the requirements set forth in paragraph (B) of this
			 rule to collect reinstatement fees in accordance with section
			 4503.03 of the Revised Code. The
			 registrar shall ensure that at least one deputy registrar in each county has
			 the capability to collect reinstatement fees. No deputy registrar shall be
			 under any obligation to request authority to collect reinstatement fees under
			 this rule.
(B)
								 The registrar shall only grant authority to collect
			 reinstatement fees to deputy registrars who request such authority in writing,
			 are deemed to be in good standing by the registrar, and have sufficient
			 internet access for the collection of the fees. The registrar has the
			 discretion to deny a deputy registrar's request for authority to collect
			 reinstatement fees. The registrar may revoke a deputy registrar's authority to
			 collect reinstatement fees for good cause and without prior notice. The
			 registrar shall issue written notice to any deputy registrar whose request for
			 authority is denied, or whose authority has been revoked, within one day of the
			 denial or revocation decision. A deputy registrar whose request has been
			 denied, or whose authority has been revoked, can appeal the decision in writing
			 to the registrar within ten business days of receipt of the notice. Any deputy
			 registrar whose request for authority to collect reinstatement fees was denied,
			 or whose authority to collect such fees was revoked, may reapply in writing to
			 the registrar after a period of one year has lapsed.
(C)
								 Authorized
			 deputy registrars shall collect a ten dollar service fee for each completed
			 transaction, regardless of the number of reinstatement fees paid during the
			 transaction. Deputy registrars must transmit the reinstatement fees and two
			 dollars of the service fee to the bureau of motor vehicles for deposit no more
			 than one business day after the collection of such fees.
(D)
								 As used in
			 paragraph (B) of this rule, "good standing" means that a deputy registrar is
			 not on probation as a result of financial audit discrepancies or a violation of
			 the deputy registrar contract, state statutes or rules, federal law, or
			 applicable policies and procedures. As used in paragraph (B) of this rule,
			 "good cause" for revoking a deputy registrar's authority to collect
			 reinstatement fees shall include, but not be limited to, financial audit
			 discrepancies or a violation of the deputy registrar contract, state statutes
			 or rules, federal law, or applicable policies and procedures.
