CARSON CITY — Nevada lawmakers are pushing a number of revised regulations to ride-hailing companies like Uber as the legislative session winds down.
The Assembly Commerce and Labor Committee voted to approve an amended version of SB440 on Monday.
The bill would prohibit ride-hailing companies from picking up passengers at certain licensed casinos and hotels with more than 1,000 rooms unless they reach an agreement beforehand specifying where passengers can be picked up.
It also requires them to refer disabled people to an alternative transportation provider. Lawmakers walked back from another amendment introduced earlier Monday to the bill that would have created more stringent regulations on ride-hailing companies.
Gov. Brian Sandoval signed legislation into law last week allowing ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft to operate legally in the state.
