SB 213Introduced; filed Nov. 9, 202690th Regular Session (2027)

Your city could not charge delivery, taxi, or ride-share drivers a curb fee.

What it does

SB 213 would bar a municipality from adopting or enforcing an ordinance, regulation, or other measure that imposes a curb fee. A curb fee is a charge on a delivery driver, ride-share driver, taxi driver, or other person in a commercial enterprise for stopping, or loading or unloading passengers or goods, at a curbside space. The bill would take effect September 1, 2027.

What it means for your community

If your city charges drivers to stop at the curb, it would have to stop collecting that fee. The change would hit the delivery, taxi, and ride-share businesses working in your city, and cities would lose the money from those fees. The text of this bill covers cities only, and it does not say what happens to fees that were already paid.
