§ 4503.037.
(A) To promote the efficient use of governmental resources, including staff and facilities,
and to improve service to the public, a county auditor who is designated to act as
a deputy registrar and the clerk of the court of common pleas from the same county,
subject to approval by the board of county commissioners and by the registrar of motor
vehicles, may enter into a memorandum of understanding to allocate motor vehicle-related
duties between the auditor and clerk. The board of county commissioners shall act by resolution in approving or rejecting
a memorandum. The registrar shall approve or reject a memorandum in writing. (B) A memorandum of understanding may allocate the performance of motor vehicle-related
duties only to the extent that the auditor acting as a deputy registrar or the clerk
otherwise is authorized by law to perform such duties, and except as provided in this
section, the performance of motor vehicle-related duties under a memorandum of understanding
shall be in accordance with all applicable laws. A memorandum may allocate motor vehicle-related duties without regard to whether the
duty is allocated by law to a deputy registrar or a clerk, and the performance of
motor-vehicle related duties by either an auditor or clerk under this section is deemed
sufficient to satisfy laws specifying that a deputy registrar or clerk perform the
duty. A memorandum may allocate any fees that are retained by a deputy registrar or clerk
by law. (C) For purposes of this section, “ motor vehicle-related duties ” means all deputy registrar duties and certificate of title duties under Chapters
1548., 4505., and 4519. of the Revised Code.
