HB 2447 -- Regional Taxicab Commission

Sponsor:  Lembke

This bill prohibits owners, employees, shareholders, or
independent contractors over whom the Regional Taxicab Commission
has oversight or any person who could benefit economically or
politically from serving on the commission.  No member of the
commission can be related to a representative of the
transportation industry within the third degree of consanguinity
or affinity.  An advisory committee is established consisting of
10 transportation industry representatives to advise the
commission.

Provisions are repealed which authorize the commission to
establish its own internal administrative procedures regarding
license-related decisions and the imposition of fines, require
the commission to consider rate and fee schedules and the number
of existing licenses when considering new applications, and allow
appeals to be heard by independent hearing officers.
