  • A.

    The appropriate enforcement authority may inspect a transportation-for-hire service, vehicle or driver to determine whether the service complies with this chapter, or other applicable law.

    B.

    For any violation of this chapter, the appropriate enforcement authority may issue a citation. As provided in Chapter 1.08 of this Code, it is a misdemeanor offense for any person, firm, corporation, partner, officer or other entity representative, manager, operator or agent to violate, by act or omission, any provision, requirement or prohibition set forth in this chapter.

    C.

    Nothing in this title shall prevent the issuance of a warrant of arrest on the same charge, and trial and conviction thereon as in other cases.

    D.

    Every holder of an operating authority permit shall ensure that its employees, agents and independent contractors are in compliance with provisions of this chapter. It is a violation for an operating authority permit holder to allow an employee, agent or independent contractor to perform services under this chapter when such employee, agent or independent contractor is operating in violation of this chapter.

    E.

    An operating authority whose employee, agent or independent contractor violates a provision of this chapter concurrently violates the same provision and is subject to the same penalty as the employee, agent, or independent contractor.

    F.

    Prosecution for any violation of this chapter does not prevent the use of other enforcement remedies or procedures applicable to the person charged with the conduct involved in the offense.

    G.

    Further, if any provision of this title be held insufficient as the basis of criminal prosecution, the same shall nevertheless be a ground for revocation or suspension of any license or permit issued under this title.

    H.

    A culpable mental state is not required for the commission of an offense under this chapter, unless the provision defining the conduct expressly requires a culpable mental state.
