Maryland Public Service Commission approves background check waiver for Uber, Lyft

BALTIMORE - Drivers for ride-share companies including Uber and Lyft will not have to undergo fingerprinting requirements, the Maryland Public Service Commission ruled Thursday.

The PSC said it has approved an alternative background check for the companies, who had argued that the checks they already use are more accurate.

Uber had threatened to leave the state if the fingerprinting requirement was not waived.

Now there will be something for ex-cons to do instead of going on welfare. This is a step in the right direction, they served their time, now lets move on. Give them a job.

Well 2:08 I am assuming you are not a man of the cloth. This is big-time lobbyist directing the state of Maryland on what laws people have to follow and what laws they don't. This is bought and paid for an extremely strong Uber lobbyist.
