§ 20-250 Pedicab business license.
   a.   It shall be unlawful for a pedicab owner to conduct a pedicab business unless such pedicab owner shall have first obtained from the commissioner a pedicab business license.
   b.   In order to obtain, amend or renew a pedicab business license, a pedicab owner must provide the commissioner with the following:
      1.   A list of all pedicabs owned, leased or controlled by such pedicab owner for which such owner seeks registration pursuant to section 20-255. Each such pedicab shall be uniquely identified on such list;
      2.   Proof that there is in force for the full license term a policy of public liability and property damage insurance that meets the requirements of section 20-253 of this subchapter for each pedicab listed pursuant to paragraph one of this subdivision; and
      3.   Such other information as the commissioner may require to establish the pedicab owner's eligibility for a pedicab business license under this subchapter.
   c.   A pedicab business license shall be valid for a term of one year, except that business licenses issued prior to November 1, 2010 shall expire on November 1, 2010. There shall be an annual fee of one hundred and ten dollars for such license that shall include the fee for registration, required by section 20-255, of one pedicab. The registration fee for each additional pedicab shall be sixty dollars. The annual fee may be pro-rated by the commissioner for the initial license period.
   d.   Notwithstanding subdivision a of this section, a person holding a pedicab driver license shall not be required to obtain a pedicab business license to drive a pedicab that is owned by a pedicab business licensed under this subchapter.
   e.   The commissioner shall have the authority to deny or revoke a pedicab business license if a pedicab owner fails to obtain the registration plates required pursuant to section 20-255 for the pedicab(s) identified on the list submitted by such owner pursuant to paragraph 1 of subdivision b of this section.
Editor's note: For related unconsolidated provisions, see Appendix A at L.L. 2009/053.
§ 20-251 Applications for, and issuance of, registration plates.
   a.   The commissioner shall accept application for registration plates, pursuant to section 20-255, provided that the total number of registration plates shall not exceed eight hundred and fifty. The commissioner shall conduct an annual review of pedicab registrations, and if the number of registration plates issued falls below eight hundred and forty, the Commissioner shall issue additional registration plates in such manner as is consistent with the provisions of this subchapter as he or she by rule shall prescribe.
   b.   The department has the authority to inspect pedicabs to determine whether the pedicabs are equipped with the features set forth in subdivision a of section 20-254 and comply with the requirement set forth in subdivision b of section 20-254.
   c.   The commissioner shall issue registration plates only to a pedicab owner who has submitted the materials required by subdivision b of section 20-250 to obtain, amend or renew a pedicab business license or to a pedicab owner who has already obtained a pedicab business license.
   d.   The commissioner shall not issue registration plates to more than thirty pedicabs for any pedicab business. No pedicab business or pedicab owner shall hold more than thirty registration plates at any one time. A pedicab business shall be deemed to have more than thirty registration plates if:
      (1)   an owner of such pedicab business has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in one or more other pedicab businesses and the businesses together have more than thirty registration plates;
      (2)   a family member of the owner of such business has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in one or more other pedicab businesses and the businesses together have more than thirty registration plates;
      (3)   a person who has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in such pedicab business has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in one or more other pedicab businesses and the businesses together have more than thirty registration plates; or
      (4)   a family member of a person who has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in such pedicab business has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in one or more other pedicab businesses and the businesses together have more than thirty registration plates.
   e.   The commissioner shall issue registration plates only to a pedicab business or owner with respect to pedicabs listed and identified in accordance with paragraph 1 of subdivision b of section 20-250 on the application of such business or owner for a pedicab business license.
   f.   A pedicab registration plate shall become void upon the revocation or suspension of the pedicab owner's pedicab business license.
Editor's note: For related unconsolidated provisions, see Appendix A at L.L. 2007/019, L.L. 2009/053 and L.L. 2011/034.
§ 20-252 Issuance of pedicab business license.
   a.   A pedicab business license shall be issued only to a person who meets all the requirements of this subchapter and any rules promulgated by the commissioner to effectuate the purposes of this subchapter.
   b.   A pedicab business license shall be valid only for the person in whose name it is issued.
   c.   The commissioner may refuse to issue to a pedicab owner a pedicab business license or to renew a pedicab business license to a pedicab owner based upon a determination that such applicant has engaged in conduct that would constitute a basis for license suspension or revocation as set forth in subdivision a of section 20-261 of this subchapter.
   d.   A pedicab business license cannot be transferred or sold. The commissioner shall promulgate rules as to whether, and the extent to which, a pedicab business license remains valid after any change in the beneficial ownership of a pedicab business, including, without limitation, any such change resulting from a direct or indirect, voluntary or involuntary, sale or transfer of a beneficial ownership interest.
