Ride-Sharing Bill Close to Becoming Law; Residents Sound Off

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 Senate Bill 440 on Monday.

The bill would require prohibit ride-hailing companies from picking up passengers at casinos and hotels unless they reach an agreement beforehand specifying where passengers can be picked up.

It also increases the number of required safety inspections on ride-hailing company vehicles and requires them to provide service to disabled people.

Gov. Brian Sandoval signed legislation into law last week allowing ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft to operate legally in the state. (AP)
