For legislation to enhance identification of taxicab operators. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance the identification of taxicab operators by requiring licensing authorities that issue taxicab or hackney carriage licenses to also provide an official identifying document. This document, separate from the license, must be placed in the rear interior of the vehicle and contain the driver's identifying picture, name, and license or hackney number. Additionally, each taxicab must display the name or trade name of the company, the company phone number, and either the medallion or vehicle number, which must be visibly affixed on the partition behind the driver's seat or on the driver's headrest. The licensing authority can specify the manner in which the identifying document is provided to the authorized driver and how it is affixed inside the vehicle.
