New law allows Mississippi to regulate companies like Uber
Wednesday, Governor Phil Bryant signed into law House Bill 1381. This law gives the state of Mississippi licensure and regulation authority over businesses that use digital networks to connect drivers to customers, like Uber.
The law requires that each transportation network company pay a $5,000 yearly license fee.
It also requires drivers to show proof of primary automobile liability insurance of 1 million dollars. Some drivers believe that’s too high.
