Rule 31-710 - SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION OF RECIPROCITY PRIVILEGES

710.1

The intent of the Commission is to hold each individual who has been issued a public vehicle-for-hire license by a jurisdiction within the Washington Metropolitan Area other than the District ("non-District operator") to the same standards of conduct imposed by this title on operators licensed by the Office, to the extent applicable.

710.2

Each non-District operator who operates a public vehicle-for-hire in the District within the limited authority provided by the reciprocity rules of §§ 828 and 1219 ("reciprocity privilege") shall be subject to the suspension or revocation of such reciprocity privilege as provided in this section.

710.3

Applicable provisions of this title, other than the provisions of this section, shall be read, interpreted, and applied to each non-District operator as if the non-District operator were licensed by the Office, substituting as necessary to give a provision its fullest meaning the term "reciprocity privilege" wherever the word "license" appears in an applicable provision.

710.4

The Office may issue an order of immediate suspension of a non-District operator's reciprocity privilege based on repeated violations of the reciprocity rules of § 828.

710.5

The Office may issue a notice of proposed suspension or proposed revocation of a non-District operator's reciprocity privilege based on repeated violations of the reciprocity rules of § 828.

710.6

In addition to the methods of service authorized by § 712.1, each order of immediate suspension, each notice of proposed suspension, and each notice of proposed revocation of a non-District operator's reciprocity privilege pursuant to this section may be served by one of the following methods:

(a) By personal service upon the respondent or the respondent's agent at any time and place where the respondent or the respondent's agent may be found within the District, including without limitation at the time and place of any violation of this title by the respondent, and at the time and place of any hearing pursuant to this chapter; and

(b) By depositing the document into first-class U.S. Mail, addressed to the address of the respondent or respondent's agent on file with OAH in any pending contested case.
