The changes are intended to create a level playing field with "for -hire" ridesharing companies. Previously, taxicab operators were subject to the local laws of each city in which they operated, requiring licenses and fees for each jurisdiction where they provided services. AB 1069 allows cities to regulate taxicabs only if the taxicab is operated and substantially located within its jurisdiction. AB 1069 also imposes updated requirements for safety, drug and alcohol testing and increased penalties for noncompliance. AB 939 makes technical and clarifying changes to AB 1069. The attached Ordinance conforms the City's taxicab laws to AB 1069 and AB 939, and makes additional revisions to reflect current City practices.
