This bill amends R.S. 32:408(B)(2)(d) to remove the requirement for taxi cab drivers to obtain a Class "D" chauffeur's license. Instead, it specifies that taxi cab drivers are only required to hold a Class "E" driver's license. The amendment clarifies that the provisions related to the Class "D" chauffeur's license, which permits the operation of various vehicles used in commerce, do not apply to taxi cab drivers.
The new legal language inserted into the current law explicitly states that taxi cab drivers shall only comply with the requirements for a Class "E" driver's license, thereby simplifying the licensing process for individuals in this profession. This change aims to streamline regulations and reduce unnecessary licensing burdens on taxi cab drivers in Louisiana.
