Ohio Administrative Code
Title 4901:2 - Motor Carriers
Chapter 4901:2-7 - Forfeitures and Compliance Orders
Section 4901:2-7-22 - Payment of forfeitures

(A) Forfeitures are to be paid by check, money order, or by any other means the staff makes available to a respondent. A check or money order made payable to "Treasurer, State of Ohio," and may be mailed or delivered to:

"Public Utilities Commission of Ohio

Transportation Compliance Division

Attn: CF Processing 180 East Broad Street

Columbus, Ohio 43215-3793"

Any instrument of payment should contain the identifying case number of the violation for which payment is tendered.

(B) If the only remedy requested with respect to a violation is the payment of a forfeiture, and full payment of the forfeiture demanded in the notice is made prior to the execution of a settlement agreement or any final commission order, full payment constitutes an admission of the occurrence of the violation and terminates all further proceedings under this chapter, and Chapter 4901-1 of the Administrative Code, regarding that violation. Full payment under these circumstances conclusively establishes the occurrence of the violation for purposes of consideration of a respondent's history of violations and for determining the appropriate remedy for any future violation.
