Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin is on board with letting Uber offer rides in West Virginia.
Tomblin spokeswoman Shayna Varner says the governor plans to introduce a bill letting ridesharing companies, including Uber and Lyft, operate in the state.
An Uber push in the GOP-led Legislature died last year. Among other issues, a pocket of lawmakers opposed a provision to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender riders from discrimination.
Varner says Tomblin’s version will require that companies have a nondiscrimination policy and comply with nondiscrimination laws.
The bill would require companies to have a Division of Motor Vehicles permit, car insurance, underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage and a zero tolerance drug and alcohol policy.
Tomblin’s bill hasn’t been released yet.
Republican Sen. Chris Walters has also introduced an Uber bill.
