(5) Establishes appropriate documentation and communication between the third party and the department indicating who has attempted the skills test with the third party and whether the person completed the test successfully;
(6) Reserves to the department the right to take prompt and appropriate remedial action against the third party and its skills test examiners if the third party or its skills test examiners fail to comply with state standards for the testing program or with any other terms of the agreement.
(C)(1) The director may adopt rules in accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code establishing reasonable fees that a third party authorized to administer the motor vehicle skills test under this section may charge for the skills test.
(2) If the director does not adopt the rules authorized under division (C)(1) of this section, a third party may charge a fee to an applicant who attempts the skills test with that third party.
