Michigan legislators pushed for equal footing for ride share and taxis, ending up with this:
- Both taxis and ride share would be regualted by the state
- Annual registration
- per vehicle fee
- Drivers register through the companies, and not the state
- Companies would have to:
- conduct background checks
- inspect vehicles
The details everyone wants to know- the background checks. Here’s the key requirements:
- Annual background checks
- 3rd party background checks permissible
- must use a local and national criminal background check that covers:
- A multistate or multijurisdiction criminal records locator or similar commercial nationwide database with validation.
- The national sex offender registry database.
- Every year get a copy of their driving record and review it
