Title
An ordinance repealing the exclusion for human services vehicles from the definition of public passenger vehicles.
Sections
100-3-21-e rp
100-3-21-f rn
Analysis
This ordinance clarifies the intent of city regulations to require operators of human service vehicles to have public passenger vehicle driver’s licenses by removing human service vehicles from the list of vehicles excluded as not being public passenger vehicles. Current code requires operators of public passenger vehicles to have public passenger vehicle driver’s licenses, and by excluding human service vehicles from the definition of public passenger vehicles in this ordinance, operators of human service vehicles appear to be exempted from the requirement to have a public passenger vehicle driver’s license, whereas human service vehicle operators are specifically required to have public passenger vehicle driver’s licenses elsewhere in the code (s. 100-54-1).
Body
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
Part 1. Section 100-3-21-e of the code is repealed.
