1. A taxicab,
				traditional limousine, livery limousine, bus or any other vehicle operated by a
				common or contract motor carrier may be inspected at any time during regular
				business hours by an authorized employee of the Authority. Before placing a new
				vehicle into service, the carrier must notify the Authority in writing and make
				the vehicle available for inspection by an authorized employee of the
				Authority. Before placing a newly acquired but previously owned vehicle into
				service, the carrier must notify the Authority in writing and the vehicle must
				pass an inspection by an authorized employee of the Authority.
2. If the authorized employee of the
				Authority finds that a vehicle is in a condition which violates any provision
				of subsections 2 to 5, inclusive, of NAC 706.379 and does not pose a threat to
				the safety of the public or passengers of the vehicle, he or she shall remove
				the vehicle from service effective at the end of the operating day and place a
				sticker on the windshield indicating that the vehicle is so removed from
				service.
3. If the authorized
				employee of the Authority finds that a vehicle is in a condition which violates
				any provision of subsections 2 to 5, inclusive, of NAC 706.379 and poses an
				immediate and substantial threat to the safety of the public or passengers of
				the vehicle, he or she shall immediately remove the vehicle from service by
				placing a sticker on the windshield indicating the vehicle is immediately
				removed from service. If passengers are aboard, the passengers must be safely
				unloaded and provided safe shelter until the driver of the vehicle obtains a
				substitute vehicle to transport the passengers to the original destination. A
				substitute vehicle must be provided immediately by the carrier. The driver must
				also contact the carrier so that the vehicle may be towed to the carrier's
				facility or another facility for repair. If passengers are not aboard the
				vehicle, the driver shall remove the vehicle from the road to a safe location
				and contact the carrier so that the vehicle may be towed to the carrier's
				facility or another facility for repair.
4. A vehicle removed from service pursuant to
				subsections 2 and 3 must remain out of service until the defect is repaired and
				a notice of repair is filed by the carrier with the Authority on a form
				provided by a representative of the Authority.

				current records for each driver and of the inspection, maintenance and repairs
				of each vehicle. Each driver's record must contain all citations, all the
				information required to be maintained pursuant to
				49 C.F.R.
				§
										391.51 and 49 C.F.R. Part 382, and
				other matters relevant to the driver's performance and his or her record of
				training. These records must be maintained and made available for inspection by
