On the recordNovember 12, 2002
I express my great appreciation to the distinguished gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Petri) for moving this legislation, and, of course, to the Chair of the full committee for moving the bill through subcommittee, the full committee and getting it to the floor today. This legislation bears a rather disarming title, the Real Interstate Driver Equity Act. The title itself belies the rather intense feelings that accompany this legislation and generated it, in fact, and that we are able to bring the bill to the floor today is something of a marvel in itself, because it really has meant bridging some very serious differences among States. Under current law, for-hire limousines can be regulated by numerous local jurisdictions while operating in pre-arranged interstate commerce.
