Bill Summary

An act relating to a license or permit to operate a vehicle for hire; creating s. 320.0603, F.S.; providing that a person who holds a license or permit issued by a county or municipality to operate a vehicle for hire may operate a vehicle for hire in any other county or municipality without being subject to certain requirements or fees under certain circumstances; providing an exception for transportation services to and from an airport; defining the term “airport”; providing construction and applicability; providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill creates a new law in Florida that allows a person who holds a valid license or permit issued by a county or municipality to operate a vehicle for hire to do so in any other county or municipality without being subject to additional licensing or permit requirements or fees, as long as the person is domiciled in the county or municipality that issued their license or permit and has not had their license or permit suspended or revoked within the past 5 years. However, this reciprocity provision does not apply to transportation services to and from an airport, which is defined to include public-use airports. The bill also states that it does not grant specific authority to counties, municipalities, or special districts to regulate or license vehicles for hire, and it does not apply to persons providing transportation of persons on stretchers or wheelchairs or with other disabilities or incapacitations.
