The California Public Utilities Commission has unanimously approved new regulations around ridesharing services such as Lyft, SideCar, and UberX, according to a number of reports on Twitter.

The CPUC proposed the rules back in July, offering a legal framework for these ridesharing these services to operate throughout the state. As we reported then, most of the regulations revolved around public safety, as well as ensuring that drivers have had background checks and are covered by insurance in the case of an accident.

I’ve reached out to the CPUC and Lyft for details and will update when I hear back. In the meantime, here are the rules as they were proposed in July.
