A. No person shall operate a taxicab unless the city has completed a criminal background check on that person and any other person with a ten (10) percent or greater financial interest in the taxicab driver's operation of a taxi-cab. This may include, but is not limited to, the taxicab driver's employer, business partner or business associate.
B. If, during the term of a taxicab driver permit, any person acquires a ten (10) percent or greater financial interest in the operation of that taxicab, the permittee shall notify the director and submit the information required by the director to conduct a background check on that person no later than three calendar days after the person acquires the interest. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection A of this section, the permittee may continue to operate the taxicab while the city conducts the background check on the person who acquired the interest.
