Clark County To Reconsider Ride-Hailing Ordinance

Clark County commissioners plan to reconsider a controversial ordinance requiring companies such as Uber and Lyft to hand over a list of their drivers every month.

Commissioner Steve Sisolak requested Wednesday that the new rule be considered at the next commission meeting, which is scheduled for Dec. 1. Ride-hailing companies strongly protested the requirement approved Tuesday.

A legal opinion from the district attorney concluded that the registry requirement violated a state law that prevents the county from treating ride-hailing companies differently than other businesses.

The district attorney's office added it doesn't entirely agree with everything in a separate state legal opinion, which also says separate fees for ride-hailing companies are illegal.

Republican state Senate leader Michael Roberson asked the attorney general to investigate after the commission passed the ordinance.
