OAC Ann. 109:4-6-05 (Anderson 2002)
109:4-6-05 Period of registration; renewals.
(A)
A certificate of registration, which shall be in effect for a period of one
year, shall be issued to telephone solicitors who have made application for
registration as required by section 4719.02 of the Revised Code and whose application
has been reviewed and approved by the attorney general. The attorney general
shall act within thirty days of receipt of a fully completed application for
registration or renewal by either issuing the certificate of registration or
notifying the applicant of the right to a hearing on the denial of registration.
If an application is incomplete in any respect, the attorney general shall return
the incomplete application to the applicant and inform the applicant of the
matter necessary to complete the application.
(B)
Not less than
sixty days prior to the expiration of a certificate of registration, the attorney
general shall mail to the registered telephone solicitor, by regular mail to
the last address provided to the attorney general by the telephone solicitor,
a notice of expiration of registration, along with the forms necessary for the
telephone solicitor to apply for renewal of the certificate of registration.
Failure on the part of the attorney general to mail a notice of expiration of
registration or renewal forms to a registered telephone solicitor, shall not
relieve the telephone solicitor, in any way, of its obligation to timely apply
for renewal of its certificate of registration and shall in no way affect the
expiration of a certificate of registration previously issued.
(C)
A telephone
solicitor seeking renewal of its certificate of registration shall apply for
renewal not less than thirty days prior to the expiration of its current certificate
of registration. The failure to make application for renewal not less than thirty
days prior to the expiration of the current certificate of registration may
result in the lapse of registration if the attorney general is unable to complete
review of the application for renewal prior to expiration of the current certificate
of registration.
