Section 2218-3.0 - Location of School
Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024
3.1 Every school shall maintain a place of business open to the public in a permanent type building containing adequate office and classroom facilities as required by Section 3.5 of these regulations.
3.2 Schools may not be located within or adjacent to a building in which applications for driver licenses are received by the Division.
3.3 Soliciting business on property occupied by or adjacent to the Driver License Examiners is prohibited.
3.4 No license shall be issued for conducting a drivers' school where the place of business is conducted from a house trailer, tent, temporary stand, temporary address, a residence room or residence rooms in a hotel, a bar or grill, billiard hall, gasoline station, garage, through the exclusive facilities of a telephone answering service, or from any other location which in the discretion of the Director is not considered to be a suitable facility for the conducting of a drivers' school. A telephone answering service can only be used as an adjunct to regularly licensed premises.
3.5 No original application nor application for change of location will be approved unless the place of business has adequate office space. If classroom facilities are combined with office space, such total space must be at least 200 square feet. The premises must be located in a well lighted, easily accessible permanent structure and maintained in a neat, business-like manner with adequate seating space and furniture provided for the use of the students patronizing the school.
3.6 No commercial drivers' school may change its location without giving written notice to the Division of Motor Vehicles and in turn receiving written permission from the Director. If through no fault of his/her own, the licensee is forced to leave his/her place of business, he/she shall have three (3) months to relocate at another fixed location and during this interim period he/she may locate temporarily in quarters which will serve as a place of business contingent upon departmental inspection of facility and approval of the Director even though such temporary place of business may not conform to the requirements of these Regulations. The Department will have 14 days to inspect the temporary location.
