Section 165:30-6-1 - Obtaining a permit

(a) No Transportation Network Company ("TNC") shall operate upon any street, road, public highway or dedicated public thoroughfare of this State for the transportation of passengers for hire without the TNC first obtaining from the Commission a permit as provided in this Subchapter. A permit issued under this Subchapter shall not constitute authorization to conduct operations as a for-hire motor carrier or as a private carrier.

(1) An applicant for a permit shall file with the Commission a written application on the appropriate form prescribed by the Commission (TDF 29), and shall tender with the application a filing fee as prescribed by law or by Commission rule.

(2) A permit shall be issued only to an individual, a corporation, a limited liability company, a partnership or other legally recognized entity and shall be personal to the holder thereof.

(3) The filing of an application for a permit does not authorize any TNC operations by the applicant. Such operations are prohibited until after all requirements have been met, and a permit has been issued. All requirements for compliance with this Chapter must be met within thirty (30) days from date of receipt of a TNC permit application by the Commission. The Transportation Division Director may extend the thirty (30) day period upon request by a TNC for good cause shown. Failure to comply will result in dismissal of the application for a permit. Permits issued shall be valid for a maximum of one (1) year and may be renewed after application has been filed and all requirements met as provided by this Chapter.

(4) The application shall require the following:

(A) Name, single trade name (if any), mailing address, physical address, email address, telephone number and domicile county of the applicant.

(B) The type of applicant (indicating if sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation or other legal entity), specifying the names of all partners, officers and/or directors listing the mailing, physical and email addresses of each.

(C) The name and address of the TNC's process agent in Oklahoma.

(D) Name of the TNC's Digital Network and sources from which it can be accessed.

(E) Screen shots of items, or other information deemed acceptable by the Commission, that are required by the Oklahoma Transportation Network Company Services Act to be on the Digital Network.

(F) Copies of policies required by the Oklahoma Transportation Network Company Services Act.

(G) Declaration that the applicant is in full compliance with all other state laws, federal laws, rules and regulations.

(H) Any other information the Commission deems pertinent.

(5) Every TNC operating under the rules of this Commission shall possess a copy of this Chapter.

(b) The Commission may grant or deny the TNC permit application or may impose conditions, stipulations and limitations on the permit consistent with the requirements of the Oklahoma Transportation Network Company Services Act. If the Commission deems a hearing on the application to be necessary, the hearing shall be set within thirty (30) days of receipt of a complete application.

(c) No TNC permit shall be issued to an applicant until all outstanding fines or judgments due the Commission or other Oklahoma state agencies have been satisfied.

(d) All proceedings subsequent to the application, shall be governed by applicable provisions of the Commission's Rules of Practice, OAC 165:5.
