Responsible Department: Clerk Commentary: This ordinance amendment would bring City taxicab insurance requirements into line with State law. Currently, the City has its own insurance requirements for taxicabs. In some instances, these requirements are higher than those of State law. This amendment would require taxicabs to conform to state law, removing the additional requirements imposed by the City. These changes were suggested at the Taxicab Advisory Committee meeting on April 17, 2009 and met with widespread approval there.
