Section 18-1 is amended to add a definition for "director of finance" <br /> because other sections of the chapter now use that term. Section 18-38, related to <br /> taxicab permits, is amended to replace the term "serial" with the correct term "permit" <br /> referring number on the taxi permit, and to remove the requirement that the driver's <br /> home address be displayed, replacing that with the taxi company name. <br /> <br /> Chapter 18, Section 18-38 includes the requirement that taxi driver's permits be posted <br /> in a prominient place within the vehicle. Taxi driver's have expressed concern regarding <br /> the requirement that they include their address on the permit. The Department of <br /> Finance finds that this is an unnecessary requirement and that displaying such personal <br /> information impacts the individual's privacy and security. The amendment replaces <br /> driver's address with taxicab company information. <br /> <br /> If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call Lee Lord, Vehicle Registration <br /> and Licensing Manager. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Nancy E.
