Title
AN ACT CONCERNING TAXICABS AND LIMOUSINES for the purpose of repealing and reenacting with amendments provisions of the County Code regulating taxicabs and limousines relating to, Taxicab Board composition, inspections, licensing, taxicab driver’s licenses, fines, driver conduct, certificate registration, vehicle maintenance and inspection, limits of certain cost, charges, fees or assessments, rates, meters requirements, payment methods, emergency fuel cost surcharge, and generally relating to taxicabs and limousines.
Background
This Bill amends Subtitle 20 of the County Code, pertaining to taxicabs and limousines. The amendments are designed to improve taxicab service for County residents and visitors and remove the regulation of limousines from County authority. Among its provisions, this Bill updates the authorizing agency; limits certain fines and punitive actions; requires proof of good standing with the State prior to taxicab license renewal and changes the selection process for chair of the Taxi Board.
