Assembly Bill 1069 (Chapter 753, Statutes of 2017) and Assembly Bill 939 (Chapter 472,
Statutes of 2018) amended the state laws regarding local regulation of taxicabs. The changes
are intended to create a level playing field with "for -hire" ridesharing companies.
Previously, taxicab operators were subject to the local laws of each city in which they
operated, requiring licenses and fees for each jurisdiction where they provided services. AB
1069 allows cities to regulate taxicabs only if the taxicab is operated and substantially located
within its jurisdiction. AB 1069 also imposes updated requirements for safety, drug and
alcohol testing and increased penalties for noncompliance. AB 939 makes technical and
clarifying changes to AB 1069. The attached Ordinance conforms the City's taxicab laws to
AB 1069 and AB 939, and makes additional revisions to reflect current City practices.
On July 16, 2019, the City council waived the reading and introduced an Ordinance
Amending Dublin Municipal Code Section 6.76 regarding Taxicabs.
