PART 4- CHAUFFEUR CERTIFICATION (TO BE COMPLETED AT OFFICE)
I understand that my Chauffeur’s Registration (Hack License) may be subject to suspension or revocation by the Department of Transportation and
Public Works (DTPW) under, but not limited to the following conditions:
1. If I fail to comply with or willfully violate any of the applicable provisions of the Miami-Dade County Code and/or the applicable laws.
2. If any material fact was omitted or falsely stated on my application.
I understand that my Chauffeur’s Registration shall be automatically revoked by (DTPW) if I plead nolo contendere, plead guilty or if I am convicted of a
felony or of any criminal offense involving moral turpitude or a crime involving the use of deadly weapons or trafficking in narcotics; or if my State of
Florida Driver’s License is suspended or revoked; or if it is determined, after drug or alcohol testing, that my use of alcohol or a controlled substance
has impaired or is impairing my ability to drive a for-hire vehicle.
I understand that I shall not refuse or neglect to transport to any place in the county any orderly person, including a service animal, who is willing and
able to pay the prescribed fare and I shall not accept any additional passengers without the consent of the passengers already within the vehicle unless
the passenger is being transported under a shared ride or other special service rate. As used in Chapter 31 of the Miami-Dade County Code, the term
“service animal” shall mean any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal, as defined in 28 C.F.R. § 36.104, individually trained to do work or perform
tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including, but not limited to, guiding individuals with impaired vision, alerting individuals with
impaired hearing to intruders or sounds, providing minimal protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, or fetching dropped items. I also
understand that if I commit two violations of this section, my chauffeur’s registration may be suspended for a period of up to six months or revoked.
I understand that fines, as required by Miami-Dade County Code for each infraction, may be imposed for violation of Code provisions. Furthermore, if I
am caught cheating during any of the trainings, or the examination itself, my application will be denied and I shall not be eligible to re-apply for a
Chauffeur’s Registration for one year.
I also understand that for the industries where a for-hire training is required, such training will be conducted in English (with the exception of the school
bus training which is also conducted in Spanish). An English proficiency test will be conducted at the beginning of the training session and failure to
pass this test will result in the denial of your application and forfeiture of any application fees that were paid.
I certify under oath that I am not a user of alcohol or drugs whose current use would constitute a direct threat to property or the safety of others. I
further pledge that I will not be a user of alcohol or drugs in a manner that would constitute a direct threat to the property and safety of others. I further
certify under oath that I am free of any mental defect or disease that would constitute a direct threat to the property or safety of others or would impair
my ability to drive a for-hire vehicle. This further certifies that I am duly authorized to work in the United States of America under the current laws of the
Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services.
I understand that I am responsible for knowing all the rules and regulations pertaining to for-hire chauffeurs which are contained in Chapter 31, Article
V of the Miami-Dade County Code.
I also certify that all statements contained in my application are complete and true. I acknowledge that omissions or false statements will be
grounds for revocation or non-issuance of a Chauffeur’s Registration.
