Maryland Aviation Administration and Local Governments - Transportation Network Services - Prohibition on Taxes, Fees, and Charges

HB 1622 prohibits counties and cities in Maryland from imposing taxes, fees, or charges on ride-hailing services (like Uber or Lyft) during passenger transport. It repeals existing rules allowing local governments to levy per-ride assessments and eliminates the Transportation Network Assessment Fund. The bill also prevents airports and local governments from setting separate fees for ride-hailing services at airport facilities. This applies specifically to commercial ride-hailing services, excluding traditional taxis, volunteer carpooling, and nonprofit transportation.
