(1) The country grants the same or similar exemptions relating to drivers' licenses to persons holding valid driver's licenses issued by this state;
(2) The country charges only reasonable fees for driver's license applications, as determined by the registrar in the registrar's sole discretion, and the fees are charged impartially to all applicants.
(B) The registrar shall not enter into a reciprocal arrangement, and shall cancel any such arrangement previously entered into, if the country does not comply with divisions (A)(1) and (2) of this section.
(C) Except as provided in section 4507.12 of the Revised Code, the registrar may waive the examination of any person applying for a driver's license if the person presents a valid, unexpired license issued by a country with which the registrar has a reciprocal arrangement.
(D) The registrar may prescribe the conditions upon which a driver's license may be issued or retained under this section.
