Bill overhauls Taxi Authority

It would switch control over the limousine business from the state Transportation Authority to the Taxicab Authority in Southern Nevada. And it would set deadlines for the Taxicab Authority to make decisions on those applying to run limousine businesses.

Individuals who want to start limousine service in Southern Nevada have complained that their applications languish before the state Transportation Authority. The bill, which now goes to the Senate Finance Committee, would give the Taxicab Authority 195 days to act.
