§ 15-5-7. Taxicab Operator Licenses.

A person shall not operate a licensed taxicab without first obtaining from the City's Licensing Officer a license to operate licensed taxicabs. The City Licensing Officer may issue to a person over seventeen (17) years of age, if the City Licensing Officer deems the person suitable, a license to operate licensed taxicabs. Applications to operate licensed taxicabs shall include the name, address and age of the applicant, the number of years of driving experience, his or her state operator's license, also provide a copy of both the New Hampshire Department of Safety driving record and criminal record or a copy of any motor vehicle violations or criminal record previously had by the applicant from another state and such other data as the City's Licensing Officer may prescribe. Such applicant must be able to read, write, and speak the English language intelligently and, on filing his or her application, must show to the City Licensing Officer a valid license issued to him or her by the Director of Motor Vehicles of this State. The City Licensing Officer shall keep a record of applications (with the motor vehicle license number of the applicant enclosed therein) and licenses granted. All licenses granted to operate licensed taxicabs shall expire on the first day of October next following the date of issuance. The fee for each license to operate taxicabs shall be the fee listed in Schedule I of Chapter 1 per year, which shall be payable at the Code Administration office at the time the application is filed.
