Within 14 days after the deadline in subdivision (a), the board shall total all rides reported pursuant to that subdivision.
(2)
The board shall rank all TNCs by rideshare volume in descending order. The board shall begin with the highest ranked TNC and continue down the list until the board has identified the TNCs whose rides collectively equal or exceed 95 percent of the statewide total for the preceding quarter. These TNCs shall be deemed “covered TNCs” for purposes of this chapter.
(3)
For purposes of this subdivision, all TNCs under common ownership or control shall be considered to be a single TNC. The board shall publish the list of covered and noncovered TNCs and
rideshare volume information on its internet website. The board shall notify each TNC as to whether the TNC is a covered TNC.

If a TNC willfully fails to submit the list required by this section, the board shall promptly issue a complaint charging the TNC with an unfair practice and petition a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary relief to compel production of the list.
(2)
In addition to any other remedy provided by law, a TNC found to have committed an unfair practice by failing to submit the list required by this section shall be subject to a civil penalty, payable to the General Fund, not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per day for each day after the deadline that the list was not provided. The amount of the penalty shall be determined by the board through application of the following criteria:
(A)
The size of the TNC.
(B)
The severity of the violation.
(C)
Any prior history of violations by the TNC.

In addition to any other remedy provided by law, a TNC found to have committed an unfair practice by failing to submit the list required by this section shall be required by the board to pay the board’s attorney’s fees and costs for any court proceeding initiated by the board to compel production of the list.
(4)
The failure of a TNC to submit the list required by this section shall not prevent the board from providing a list of covered and noncovered TNCs to the extent the board concludes that the missing information cannot reasonably be expected to change whether those TNCs are
covered or noncovered TNCs.
