Draft legislation dealing with the licensing and operating of public service vehicles is now complete.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has announced that, after much detailed consultation with relevant stakeholders, taking into consideration the
views of Taxi Associations and Hotel operators, draft legislation dealing with the licensing and operating of public service vehicles is now
complete.
The draft legislation was scheduled to be taken before the Advisory Council at their last sitting for their approval and forwarded to the
Consultative Forum for debate. Regrettably, due to circumstances beyond the control of the Ministry of Home Affairs, this was not possible.
The new draft legislation is now scheduled to be presented to the first sitting of the Advisory Council in early January and to the Consultative
Forum shortly thereafter.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has expressed thanks to all concerned for their patience in resolving this matter and urges stakeholders to remain
patient, pending introduction of the new legislation and to continue to work together in the best interests of the industry and our economy.
The new legislation will bring order to the transport industry which the Ministry recognises, has been in need of a new legal platform for very
many years.
