(a) If three or more judgments or default judgments have been entered against a person pursuant to § 350.07 hereof, and the person has not paid the judgments or default judgments within ten days of the date of entry of the third judgment, the Parking Violations Bureau may, pursuant to Ohio R.C. 4521.10 and rules adopted by the Registrar, give notice of that fact to the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. The notice, if given, shall be given not earlier than 16 days nor later than three years after the date of the entry of the third judgment, and shall be in a form and manner, and contain such information, as the Registrar prescribes.
(b) (1) Unless the person presents a release as provided in division (c) below or unless the Registrar is properly notified by the Parking Violations Bureau that the judgments or default judgments have been paid, dismissed or reversed on appeal, or that the initial notice was given in error and is therefore cancelled, neither the Registrar nor any Deputy Registrar shall accept any application for the registration or transfer of registration of any motor vehicle owned or leased by the person named in the notice.
(2) The Parking Violations Bureau shall transmit to the Registrar by means of an electronic transfer system a notice containing the information contained in the “Ohio Uniform Traffic Tickets” described in Traffic Rule 3(A) and (B) with respect to such violations.
(c) When a notice as provided in division (a) above 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 cancelled, the Parking Violations Bureau shall, pursuant to Ohio R.C. 4521.10 and rules adopted by the Registrar, 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 $5 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 Ohio R.C. 4501.06.
(d) A further notice as prescribed by Ohio R.C. 4521.10 and rules adopted by the Registrar shall be submitted by the Parking Violations Bureau to the Registrar indicating that the judgments or default judgments are still outstanding if such judgments remain outstanding in excess of 13 months.
