§ 1548.02.
The chief of the division of parks and watercraft shall adopt such rules as the chief
considers necessary to ensure uniform and orderly operation of this chapter, and the
clerks of the courts of common pleas shall conform to those rules. The chief shall receive and file in the chief's office all information forwarded
to the chief by the clerks under this chapter and shall maintain indexes covering
the state at large for that information. These indexes shall be for the state at large and not for individual counties. The chief shall check with the chief's record all duplicate certificates of title
received in the chief's office from the clerks. If it appears that any certificate of title has been improperly issued or is no longer
required, the chief shall cancel the certificate. Upon the cancellation of any certificate of title, the chief shall notify the clerk
who issued it, and the clerk shall enter the cancellation in the clerk's records. The chief also shall notify the person to whom the certificate of title was issued,
as well as any lienholders appearing on it, of the cancellation and, if it is a physical
certificate of title, shall demand the surrender of the certificate of title, but
the cancellation shall not affect the validity of any lien noted on it. The holder of a physical certificate of title shall return it to the chief immediately. The clerks shall keep on hand a sufficient supply of blank forms that, except certificate
of title and memorandum certificate forms, shall be furnished and distributed without
charge to registered manufacturers or dealers or to other persons residing within
the county. The clerks shall provide the certificates of title and ribbons, cartridges, or other
devices necessary for the operation of the certificate of title processing equipment
as determined by the automated title processing board pursuant to division (C) of section 4505.09 of the Revised Code from moneys provided to the clerks from the automated title processing fund in accordance
with division (B) of section 4505.09 of the Revised Code . The clerks shall furnish all other supplies from other moneys available to the clerks.
