- (a) No TNC shall conduct any operations in this State unless such operations are covered by a valid insurance policy issued by an insurer authorized or approved by the Oklahoma Insurance Department. No holder of a TNC permit shall conduct any operations before a proper certificate of insurance(s) has been filed with, and approved, by the Commission.
- (b) Every TNC shall file with the Commission a certificate on form TDF 30 certifying that there is in effect insurance coverage as set forth in the Oklahoma Transportation Network Company Services Act.
- (c) No certificate of insurance filed with the Commission pursuant to this Section shall be canceled, unless the authorization to conduct operations has been canceled, except after thirty (30) days written notice made to the Commission, on form TDF 31, which notice shall be effective only upon actual receipt thereof by the Commission.
- (d) Insurance certificates may be canceled without the thirty (30) days written notice on form TDF 31 only when the authorization to operate has previously expired or canceled.
- (e) Insurance certificates not properly cancelled or expired shall be considered expired one (1) year after the TNC's authorization to operate has been cancelled or expired.
- (f) Insurance certificates approved by this Commission shall be replaced by more recent insurance certificates. The liability of the retiring insurer shall be terminated as of the effective date of the replacement insurance certificate provided the replacement is approved by this Commission.
- (g) Every certificate of insurance filed with the Commission shall provide that the public is protected from damage sustained through operations of any and all vehicles operated by the TNC insured, subject to the terms and conditions provided for by the Oklahoma Transportation Network Company Services Act.
- (h) Every certificate of insurance filed with the Commission shall be executed by an officer or authorized agent of the insurance company; and if executed by an agent, a copy of his written authority or power of attorney to execute the same shall be attached to the certificate.
- (i) When insurance is provided by more than one insurer in order to aggregate security limits for TNCs, a separate insurance certificate is required of each insurer. For each motor carrier, no more than one (1) primary insurance filing and no more than two (2) excess insurance filings shall be approved.
- (j) Every TNC shall maintain in force at all times all insurance required by state laws and by this Section. Failure for any cause to maintain any required insurance in force shall automatically and without notice suspend the permit of a TNC until proper insurance is filed. No TNC operations shall be conducted unless proper insurance is on file with the Commission.
- (k) Whenever the permit of a TNC is suspended for failure to maintain in force insurance required by this Section, the TNC must file proper certificate(s) of insurance, as provided in this Section, within sixty (60) days after commencement of the suspension.
- (l) Whenever a TNC fails to provide proper certificates of insurance within sixty (60) days after suspension thereof as provided in this Section, the TNC's permit shall be cancelled. A permit so cancelled shall not be reinstated or otherwise made operative except upon proper showing that the TNC was actually covered by proper insurance during the suspension or cancellation period, and that failure to file with the Commission was not due to the TNC's own negligence.
- (m) Insurance filings and cancellation notices required by this Chapter may be accepted electronically as set forth by the Transportation Division. Electronic insurance filings and cancellations shall be held to the same standard and carry the same force and effect as if accepted through traditional paper filings.
