(a) For purposes of this chapter, the board shall determine if an entity is a TNC driver organization within the meaning set forth in Section 7470.2, as follows: (1) The board shall designate a 10-day period to occur on or after January 1, 2026, and every three months thereafter, during which an entity must apply to the board in order to be designated as a TNC driver organization or to have its designation renewed. (2) The general counsel of the board shall have the authority to determine if an entity is a TNC driver organization upon application by that entity. The general counsel shall issue that determination within 10 days of receiving the application. (3) If the general counsel determines an entity is not a TNC driver organization, the general counsel shall state the reasons for this determination. An applicant determined not to be a TNC may appeal this adverse determination to the board within 30 days of the determination. (b) Once an entity has been determined to be a TNC driver organization, this determination shall remain valid for two years unless it is determined that the entity no longer meets the definition of a TNC driver organization. (c) The certified driver bargaining organization shall be presumed to continue to meet the definition of a TNC driver organization without the need to apply for renewal of that determination every two years.
