(b) Require proof that the applicant:

(1) Is a resident of this State or a state that adjoins the county in which the applicant has applied for a driver's permit;

(2) Can read and orally communicate in the English language; and

(3) Has a valid license issued under NRS 483.325 which authorizes the applicant to drive a taxicab in this State.

2. The Administrator may refuse to issue a driver's permit if the applicant has been convicted of:

(a) A felony relating to the practice of taxicab drivers in this State or any other jurisdiction at any time before the date of the application;

(b) A felony involving any sexual offense in this State or any other jurisdiction at any time before the date of the application;

(c) A violation of NRS 484C.110, 484C.120 or 484C.430 or a law of any other jurisdiction that prohibits the same or similar conduct within 3 years before the date of the application; or

(d) A violation of NRS 484C.130 or a law of any other jurisdiction that prohibits the same or similar conduct.

3. The Administrator may refuse to issue a driver's permit if the Administrator, after the background investigation of the applicant, determines that the applicant is morally unfit or if the issuance of the driver's permit would be detrimental to public health, welfare or safety.

4. A taxicab driver shall pay to the Administrator, in advance, $40 for an original driver's permit and $10 for a renewal.
