N.Y. Vehicle & Traffic Law § 1698: Audit procedures; confidentiality of records

§ 1698. Audit procedures; confidentiality of records. 1. For the

purpose of verifying that a TNC is in compliance with the licensing

requirements of the department, the department shall reserve the right

to audit a sample of records that the TNC is required to maintain, upon

request by the department that shall be fulfilled in no fewer than ten

business days by the TNC. The sample shall be chosen randomly by the

department in a manner agreeable to both parties. The audit shall take

place at a mutually agreed location in New York state. Any record

furnished to the department may exclude information that would tend to

identify specific drivers or passengers.

2. The names and identifying information of TNC drivers that are

received pursuant to this section shall be considered information which,

if disclosed, would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal

privacy under the provisions of article six of the public officers law.

3. The department shall establish regulations for the filing of

complaints against any TNC driver or TNC pursuant to this section.
