(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.
