A. The TNC or its agent shall maintain accurate and up-to-date records for all TNC drivers accessing its digital network to provide TNC services in the city of Lacey. Said records shall include the driver’s name, age, address, social security number, criminal history, driver’s license, motor vehicle registration, vehicle safety inspection records, and proof of at least the minimum automobile liability insurance coverage required by the state of Washington, including insurance for use of the vehicle for transportation of passengers for-hire as required by Chapter 48.177 RCW as enacted or subsequently amended.

B. Prior to permitting a person to act as a TNC driver on its digital network, and annually thereafter, the TNC shall obtain and review a criminal background check report for such person. The criminal background check shall include a search of no less than five years of database history, unless prohibited by law, in which case the duration of the search shall be the maximum number of years permitted by law. The criminal background check shall include local, state, and national criminal history databases and national and state sex offender registries. Any person who is on a sex offender registry or who has a criminal conviction, within the past five years, of crimes involving driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances, felony fraud, sexual offenses, felony property damage or theft, acts of violence, acts of terror, reckless driving or negligent driving, or use of a motor vehicle to commit a felony, shall not be permitted to act as a TNC driver on the TNC’s digital network. The TNC or its agents shall maintain records of such criminal background checks for a period of two years. For purposes of this section, the term “criminal conviction” includes a “conviction or other disposition adverse to the subject” as defined under RCW 10.97.030, and bail forfeitures.

C. The TNC shall only permit an individual to act as a TNC driver on its digital network if it finds that the standards set forth in this section are met by such individual. The TNC shall revoke a driver’s authority to act as a TNC driver on its digital network if the standards set forth in this section are not met. (Ord. 1489 §2 (part), 2016).
