Over the next few months, decisions at the state legislature around rideshare could go beyond setting minimum rates for drivers. Already, some legislators are debating whether or not the state’s local governments should have the power to regulate transportation networks at all.
Eyes were on Minneapolis City Council Thursday as council voted to delay the implementation of its minimum rates rideshare ordinance, but interest in the future implications of this ordinance extend beyond the city. A working group led by House Majority Leader Jamie Long and Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy is working on a statewide solution that doesn’t preempt the Minneapolis City Council’s action. Council leaders are part of that effort.
Long said Thursday that the state bill is getting “very close” and he was grateful that Minneapolis City Council extended its ordinance implementation date.
