Sec. 76-277. - Auditing.
(a) Twice annually in January and July, the department shall inspect a sample of ten records that the transportation network company is required to maintain pursuant to RSMo §§ 387.400 through 387.440. The sample shall be chosen from an anonymous list provided by the transportation network company to the Director and in a manner agreeable to both parties. After selecting the sample of ten unique records from the anonymous list, the transportation network company shall provide sufficient identifying account details so that the Director can conduct an audit to determine the transportation network company's compliance with existing regulations. The audit shall take place at a mutually agreed location in Kansas City, Missouri.
(b) The transportation network company shall pay the costs incurred for the review of the records, not to exceed the costs of compliance, and not more than $5,000.00 per year.
(c) In response to a specific complaint alleging criminal allegations against any transportation network company driver or transportation network company, the Director is authorized to inspect records held by the transportation network company that are necessary to investigate and resolve the specific complaint. The transportation network company and the Department shall endeavor to have the inspection take place at a mutually agreed location in Kansas City, Missouri. Any records furnished may exclude information that would identify specific drivers or riders, unless the identity of a driver or rider is relevant to the complaint.
(d) Any records inspected under this section are designated confidential, are not subject to disclosure to a third party without prior written consent of the TNC, and are exempt from disclosure under RSMo ch. 610. Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting the applicability of any other exemptions under chapter 610.
(e) Pursuant to the audits provided for in subsection (b) of this section and RSMo § 387.440, any transportation network company discovered during the audit to be in violation of any of the requirements of RSMo § 387.400 through § 387.440 shall be punished by a fine of not more than $500.00 per violation. Each transportation network company shall remit payment of any fine to the state department of revenue. The state department of revenue shall have jurisdiction over appeals of such fines.
