§ 59B-35 Penalty Points for Bases.

(a) Accumulation of Points. A Base will accumulate Penalty Points as penalties for violation of certain Rules and upon certain violations by the Base's affiliated Vehicles, as specified below. (b) Notification of Affiliated Vehicle Points. A Base will be notified by the Commission (by USPS to the Base Mailing Address) whenever an affiliated For-Hire Vehicle accumulates a Penalty Point. (c) Assessment of Point for Revocation of Affiliated Vehicle License. A Base will be assessed one Penalty Point whenever an affiliated For-Hire Vehicle accumulates Penalty Points sufficient in number and time, that the Commission revokes the Vehicle's License. (d) Six Penalty Points Requires Base License Revocation. The License of any Base that accumulates six or more Penalty Points for occurrences during any License term will be revoked. (e) Points Accrued but not Assessed Before Renewal. (1) If points are imposed after a Base License has been renewed based on a violation that occurred before the renewal, the points will be added to the total points accumulated by the Base before its renewal. (2) If the additional Points raise the total number to six or more Points, the Base License will be revoked. (f) Revoking a License. (1) The Chairperson can begin revocation proceedings whenever a Base Licensee has been assessed six or more points during the current term of that License. (2) The Licensee's Base License can also be revoked as part of the decision imposing the final point necessary for revocation. (g) Separate Proceedings for Base License and Vehicle License Revocation. At any time revocation of a Base License is mandated and the last penalty point arises from the same incident that created the For-Hire Vehicle License revocation mandate, separate proceedings must be held for the Base License revocation and the Vehicle License revocation. (h) Point Reduction Program. The Chairperson will develop a point reduction program applicable to Vehicles and Bases. (i) Penalty Point Program Start Date. No Penalty Points will be imposed for violations occurring before August 1, 2009.
