RE: Draft Ordinance on Taxicab Driver Licensing
Here is the draft ordinance, actually it is in final form and ready to go unless you want to
make additional changes (which is OK, too).
I have also attached a one-page document which contains the state law defmition (Minn. Stat.
§ 169.121, subd. 3(a)(2)) which is referenced in the draft ordinance. The italicized language is mine,
and gives you a shorthand description of what that state law definition contains.
d�-���

denial, or disqualification under:

or - death to an unborn ckild
or - injury to an unborn child
(iii) an ordinance from this state, or a statute or ordinance from another state, in conformity with
any provision listed in item
(i) or {ii}.
"Prior license revocation" also means

snowmobile or all-tenain vehicle operating privileges under section 84.911, or
