Iowa ride hailing bill drops Uber insurance mandate
The Iowa Legislature removes a driver insurance mandate from a ride hailing bill after Uber threatened to halt Iowa operations. The amendment requires li ened vehicles used for ride hail to notify lien holders and adds a 250 dollar civil fine for noncompliance. The bill moves to debate with support from both parties and Uber involvement ongoing.
