Rule 4713-1-15 | Fines, requests for extension of payment, penalties, and interest.

 

(A) In accordance with division (E)(1) of section 4713.64 of the Revised Code, the board may impose a separate fine for each offense listed in division (A) of section 4713.64 of the Revised Code. Fine amounts imposed shall be in accordance with division (E)(1) of section 4713.64 of the Revised Code.

(B) All orders or consent agreements adopted as orders by the board that impose a fine shall specify that payment is due thirty days after the date the board issues the order of the board, which shall be the date of mailing of the certified copy of the board order that stipulates the fine amount. Upon the board's motion or upon written request of the violator within ten days of the the date the board issues the order of the board, the board may extend the date the fine must be paid up to ninety days after the date the order of the board was issued. Violators may request an extension from the board pursuant to this rule if they provide evidence of an unusual hardship that prevents timely payment. Unusual hardship shall include, but is not limited to, loss of income due to job loss, unforeseen illness or hospitalization, and catastrophic property loss. The determination to extend the due date of a fine payment and the number of days the payment will be extended shall be delegated to the executive director of the board, who shall prepare a monthly summary report and file such report at each regular business meeting.

(C) If a violator fails to pay a fine by the due date specified by the board's order or fails to pay a fine by the extended due date, the board will impose an addition penalty equal to ten per cent of the fine amount ordered.

(D) If the violator fails to pay a fine within ninety days after the board issues the order, the board shall add an additional fine interest amount for the period of time between the due date specified by the board and the ninety-first day after the board issues the order. The interest amount shall be based on a per annum rate prescribed in section 5703.47 of the Revised Code.

(E) If fines, penalties, and interest remain unpaid on the ninety-first day after the board issues the order, the board shall certify the total amount due to the Ohio attorney general, in compliance with division (E)(6) of section 4713.64 of the Revised Code.
