An ordinance repealing the exclusion for human services vehicles from the definition of public passenger vehicles.

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 Section 100-3-21-e of the code is repealed.

(Note: The provision being repealed reads as follows:

 

100-3. Definitions.

21. PUBLIC PASSENGER VEHICLE.

e. A vehicle licensed or otherwise regulated as a human service vehicle by the state of Wisconsin used for the transportation of elderly or handicapped persons. Vehicles operated by nonprofit organizations which are used for the transportation of elderly or handicapped persons and not licensed or otherwise regulated by the state of Wisconsin shall be considered public passenger vehicles and shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter.)

 

Part 2.  Section 100-3-21-f of the code is renumbered 100-3-21-e.
