It is unlawful to sell a former taxi cab without disclosing its past.

Status: Still Enforced / On the Books

The Law Explained

To prevent consumer fraud, state lawmakers cracked down on used car salesmen who would buy worn-out city cabs, give them a fresh coat of paint, and sell them as gently used family sedans. The law mandates that the vehicle's title must prominently display its former life as a taxi or police cruiser. It is a rare, hyper-specific law that still actively protects buyers.
