The Gazette: With ride-hailing service Uber in five Iowa communities and looking to expand, Gov. Terry Branstad signed into law Monday regulations that will set minimum requirements statewide for such services. The law establishes standards for conducting criminal background checks on drivers and attesting that ride-hailing services are adequately insured. While Uber has said the statewide regulations are a welcome relief from contending with a patchwork of different rules from different cities, the law allows municipalities to adopt more stringent measures.
