OHIO
REVISED CODE SECTION 4775.06
The
Board Investigators are appointed by the Executive director
to assist in carrying out ORC 4775. They shall report to the
Executive Director and the Board of Motor Vehicle Repair the
name and address of any motor vehicle repairer that the investigator
has reasonable grounds to believe is operating in violation
of this chapter (ORC 4775), and shall notify the repairer
of the suspected violation. Within sixty days after notification
is sent or given to a repairer in violation, an investigator
shall determine whether the motor vehicle repairer, who has
been notified of a suspected violation, has come into compliance
with the requirements. If the motor vehicle repairer fails
to correct the suspected violation within sixty days after
he/she received the notification, the investigator shall notify
the Executive Director and the Board of the repairer's failure
to correct the violation. Upon receiving a second notification
of an repairer's failure to comply with this chapter, the
Executive Director shall notify the government entity having
enforcement authority over the condition or activity giving
rise to the suspected violation in writing of the condition
or activity, the nature of the suspected violation, and the
name and address of the repairer suspected of violating this
chapter. An investigator shall monitor periodically the progress
of any action taken in connection with the suspected violation
with the appropriate government entity, including any investigation
or charges that are filed in connection with the suspected
violation. Upon obtaining such information, the Executive
Director or the investigator monitoring such progress shall
notify the Board of the progress of the suspected violation
and any accompanying investigation, charges, or other action
taken in connection with the suspected violation.
