Texas governor signs bill bringing Uber, Lyft back to Austin (forbes.com)

There's an ad blocking paywall but if you're using Brave it will bypass, just remove those numbers on the end of the link.

I wonder if these new regulations would override city level ones. I'm thinking about Dallas in particular that has quickly latched onto the background check stuff as a way to fleece everybody that they can and to write expensive ($600!) tickets to Uber/Lyft drivers they catch not participating in their scam. Only way to avoid it is to not pick up anybody in the City of Dallas.
