Wolverines Move Ride Share Legislation to Governor. The Crucial Elements.

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
