H.R. 1689 — To prohibit States from imposing restrictions on the operation of motor vehicles providing limousine service between a place in a State and a place in another State, and for other purposes.

Summary

Makes it unlawful for a State, State political subdivision or agency, interstate agency, or political agency of two or more States to restrict interstate commerce by enforcing any regulation or law that restricts the operation of a motor vehicle providing pre-arranged ground transportation service (limousine service) if the motor carrier providing such service: (1) is registered under specified Federal law for the interstate transportation of passengers; (2) meets all applicable requirements of the State or States in which the motor carrier is domiciled or registered to do business; and (3) was hired pursuant to a contract for travel from one State (including intermediate stops) to a destination in another State, or travel from one State (including one or more intermediate stops in another State) to a destination in the original State.

Provides that nothing in this Act shall be construed as subjecting taxicab service to Federal regulation pursuant to the Secretary of Transportation's authority over interstate commerce.
