(A) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, TNC's and TNC drivers are governed exclusively by this article and by any regulations promulgated by the Office of Regulatory Staff consistent with this article. TNC drivers remain subject to all local ordinances outside the scope of this article, whether directly or indirectly impacting the delivery of TNC driver services including, but not limited to, parking and traffic regulations that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this article. (B) Political subdivisions are prohibited from imposing a tax on a TNC, a TNC driver, or a vehicle used by a TNC driver, including a business license tax, where the tax is assessed in connection with prearranged rides in the State. Nothing in this article may be construed to restrict a municipality from collecting a business license tax from a TNC located within its boundaries if the tax is limited to receipts or revenue that is not subject to a local assessment fee pursuant to Section 58-23-1700 or a business license tax. (C) In order for a TNC and a TNC driver to provide prearranged rides on airport property, the TNC must comply with Federal Aviation Administration regulations and airport regulations relating to: (1) payment of reasonable fees to operate at the airport, agreed to by the TNC and each individual airport, not based on a per-passenger, per-driver, or per-vehicle basis; and (2) designating locations for staging, pick-ups, drop-offs, and other similar locations.
