§ 594.08. Inspection of carriage.

(a)

The Director shall establish the criteria and the procedure for a reasonable inspection to be performed prior to initial licensing and prior to any renewal. All criteria must be satisfactory prior to the approval of licensing. If any portion of the inspection is unsatisfactory, the company shall cause the condition to be corrected and shall have the carriage reinspected at the designated location. Upon approved inspections, each carriage shall be issued a decal which shall:

(1)

Reflect the corresponding license number;

(2)

Clearly indicate a satisfied inspection; and

(3)

Be affixed to the lower left side of the back of the carriage.

(b)

At the discretion of the Director, and at no charge to the company, at least one (1) inspection shall be made of each carriage during its license period.

(1)

If, upon any inspection, a carriage is found to be in violation of Section 594.07, a license officer or law enforcement officer may remove the decal and direct that the carriage be taken out of service until made compliant. Carriages taken out of service must be reinspected at a cost of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per additional inspection and approved by a license officer before being returned to service. After completion of such requirements and the payment of a decal fee of ten dollars ($10.00), a new decal shall be affixed.

(2)

The license officer shall appropriately note any inspection failure on the records of the company and driver.
