New taxi background checks eyed by Lawrence officials
Lawrence commissioners approved rules requiring taxi owners to pass criminal background checks on drivers and to insure fleets at 300000 per incident for small vehicles and 500000 for larger ones. The policy limits city regulation of ride sharing, and adds a placard with City Hall contact, while disability protections curb extra charges and refusals. The measure passed 3 to 2.
