§ 459.12 Motor Vehicle Registration Hold Due to Nonpayment of Parking Infraction Judgments
   (a)   If three (3) or more judgments or default judgments have been entered against a person pursuant to Section 459.07 hereof and the person has not paid the judgments or default judgments within ten (10) days of the date of entry of the third judgment, the Parking Violations Bureau may give notice of that fact to the Registrar of Motor Vehicles for purposes of preventing registration or transfer of registration of any vehicle owned or leased by the person as provided in RC 4521.10. The notice, if given, shall be given not earlier than sixteen (16) days nor later than three (3) years after the date of entry of the third judgment, and shall be in a form and manner, and contain such information, as the registrar prescribes.
   (b)   When a notice as provided in division (a) of this section is given to the registrar and the judgments or default judgments are subsequently paid, dismissed, or reversed on appeal, or it is discovered that the notice was given in error and is therefore canceled, the Parking Violations Bureau shall immediately notify the registrar of such payment, dismissal, reversal, or cancellation. The notification shall be in a form and manner, and contain such information, as the registrar prescribes. If the initial notice was not given in error, the Parking Violations Bureau shall charge the person a five dollar ($5.00) processing fee for each judgment or default judgment to cover the costs of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles in administering this section. Upon payment of the fee, the Parking Violations Bureau shall give to the person a release to be presented at the time of registering or transferring the registration of a motor vehicle owned or leased by him or her. All fees collected under this division shall be transmitted monthly to the registrar for deposit in the state highway safety fund established by RC 4501.06.

No. 446-90 provides that within 1 year of the effective date of this section, the Violations Clerk of the Parking Violations Bureau may, at any time prior to giving notice to the registrar of motor vehicles pursuant to division (a) of Section 459.12, establish payment plans upon terms determined by the Violations Clerk for the payment of parking infraction judgments or default judgments.
