(a) If three or more judgments or default judgments have been entered against a person pursuant to Section 351.19 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 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 Ohio R.C. 4521.10. The notice, if given, shall be given not earlier than sixteen days nor later than three 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 subsection (a) hereof, is given to the Registrar and the judgments or default judgments are substantially 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. All fees collected under this subsection shall be transmitted monthly to the Registrar for deposit in the State Highway Safety Fund established by Ohio R.C. 4501.06.
