  • a. It shall be unlawful for a pedicab
      driver  to  operate a pedicab unless the pedicab driver shall have first
      obtained a pedicab driver license from the commissioner.
        b. It shall be unlawful for a pedicab business to permit the operation
      of any pedicabs owned by it by a person who  does  not  have  a  pedicab
      driver  license  and  a motor vehicle driver's license in full force and
      effect.
        c. In order to obtain or renew a pedicab  driver  license,  a  pedicab
      driver  shall file an application with the commissioner for such pedicab
      driver license. Such  application  shall  be  made  upon  such  form  as
      prescribed by the commissioner and shall contain such information as the
      commissioner  may require to establish the applicant's eligibility for a
      pedicab driver license under this subchapter.
        d. To be eligible for a pedicab driver license, an applicant shall:
        1. be at least eighteen years of age;
        2. possess a currently valid motor vehicle driver's license;
        3. not have his or her New York State motor vehicle  driver's  license
      suspended or revoked; and
        4. meet such fitness requirements as the commissioner may determine by
      rule.
        e.  A  pedicab  driver  license shall be valid for a term of one year.
      There shall be a fee  of  thirty-five  dollars  for  such  license.  The
      commissioner  shall  establish  the  expiration date for such license by
      rule.
        f. The commissioner may refuse to issue a pedicab driver license or to
      renew such a license based upon a determination that such pedicab driver
      has engaged in conduct which would constitute a basis for the suspension
      or revocation of a pedicab driver license as set forth in subdivision  c
      of section 20-261 of this subchapter.
