Amends TCA Title 7, Chapter 51, Part 10.

Present law authorizes governmental entities in Davidson and Shelby counties to regulate entry into the business of providing passenger transportation service, including, but not limited to, limousine, sedan, shuttle and taxicab service. A "governmental entity" is defined as a political subdivision of the state and any municipality, metropolitan government, county or airport authority. This bill extends the above-described authority to regulate passenger transportation services to all governmental entities, as defined above, and includes entertainment transportation in the services that may be regulated. This bill defines "entertainment transportation" as a motor vehicle that is designed or constructed to accommodate and transport a number of passengers for hire, the principal operation of which is confined to the area within the corporate limits of cities or counties and the suburban territory adjacent to the cities or counties, whether it is operated on a fixed route or schedule, and where the passengers hire the motor vehicle not only as a means of transportation but also for some entertainment or social purpose. "Entertainment transportation" includes, but is not limited to, a wagon pulled by a tractor or other motor vehicle.
