(2)The transportation network company shall submit identifying information regarding an applicant to the department, which shall refer said information to the department of criminal justice information services, which will obtain all available criminal offender record information as defined in section 167 of chapter 6 and pursuant to section 172 of chapter 6; and sex offender registry information.  Following a review of the pertinent records, the department or the department of criminal justice information services shall determine whether the applicant has committed an offense that would disqualify him from the provision of transportation network services, according to the department’s rules, orders, and regulations.  In light of that determination, and following the department’s review of all motor vehicle records pertaining to the applicant, the department shall determine within 5 business days of receiving an applicant’s identifying information whether the applicant is suitable to provide transportation network services according to regulations promulgated by the department, and shall so notify the transportation network company.”
