- Analysis -

This ordinance amends the existing public passenger vehicle regulations to require that applicants for a public passenger vehicle license, at the time they replace a vehicle or place an existing vehicle in service, provide a certificate of registration. Currently, regulations only require "registration" and not an actual certificate of registration. Because state law allows registration to occur by mailing a completed application, it is possible for an applicant to obtain a public passenger vehicle license without presenting an actual certificate of registration. A certificate of registration is what is normally required by the city clerk and the police department to place a public passenger vehicle in service. The ordinance conforms the existing regulations to administrative practice, and thus eliminates an ambiguity from the current ordinance. In addition, persons whose public passenger vehicle licenses have been terminated because of a Wisconsin department of transportation waiting period in 1998, may apply for reinstatement of those licenses within 30 days of the effective date of this ordinance.
