Item No. A 156
Date: May 11, 2009
Item/Subject: Ordinance, Amending the Code of the City of Bangor, Chapter 278, Taxicabs, §
278-3, Taxicab License, to Conform Insurance Requirements to State
Standards.
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.
