Annotations to present section:

Interpretation of phrase “public convenience and necessity” has not been articulated by the department and phrase is ambiguous in that it does not establish factors that the department must consider; section should be construed to avoid anticompetitive effects to the greatest extent possible, consistent with general legislative policy; in determining whether it should grant an application for a livery service permit, the department should consider whether a permit applicant has provided evidence on whether the service will benefit the relevant class of users and whether the proposed service is more efficient, more economical, more convenient, more satisfactory or different than the services offered by existing service providers. 316 C. 538.

Statute provides department with sufficient guidance to grant or deny permit applications against the myriad of factual scenarios that may arise and is not an unconstitutional delegation in violation of constitutional doctrines of separation of powers. 78 CA 80.

Subsec. (a):

Subdiv. (4) does not violate the equal protection clauses of the U.S. and Connecticut Constitutions, the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution or the due process clauses of the U.S. and Connecticut Constitutions. 316 C. 538.

Subsec. (b):

Court properly determined that department had acted properly in construing Subsec. to require a multifactor analysis and in applying the “public convenience and necessity” standard to plaintiff's application for additional intrastate livery service. 78 CA 80.

Sec. 13b-104. (Formerly Sec. 16-326a). Temporary authority. The Department of Transportation may, without hearing, issue to an applicant for authority to operate a motor vehicle in livery service temporary authority to operate such service, pending hearing upon his application and disposition thereof by the department, but such temporary authority shall not extend over a period of more than one hundred eighty days.

Temporary authority shall not extend over a period of more than sixty days. In determining the special needs of persons who are elderly and persons with disabilities, the department may take into consideration the convenience and the physical and mental frailties of, and the care, safety and protection necessary for the best interest of, persons who are elderly, persons with disabilities and the general public. No applicant shall be issued a temporary or permanent permit unless such applicant's motor vehicle meets the requirements of subsection (e) of section 14-100a.

The Commissioner of Motor Vehicles shall have jurisdiction over such registration, the exterior lighting equipment of such motor vehicle and the licensing of its operator. An operator of a motor vehicle which has a capacity of less than ten adults shall conspicuously display the assigned livery registration while the motor vehicle is operating in livery service. Said commissioner may suspend such registration and the license of such operator for the violation of any provision of this chapter or any order or regulation prescribed or established under such provision, for such term as the commissioner deems advisable.
