The suspension shall last until the time the complaint investigation is complete. The following information shall be provided on a transportation network company's publicly accessible Internet website:
(1) Notice of the zero-tolerance policy.
(2) Procedures to report a complaint about a transportation network company driver with whom the passenger was matched and whom the passenger reasonably suspects was under the influence of drugs or alcohol during the course of the ride.
