AI Summary
- Urges the Chicago City Council to pass Alderman Anthony Beale's ordinance requiring criminal background checks with fingerprinting for all rideshare drivers

- References a May 18, 2016 incident in Gaithersburg, Maryland where a rideshare driver with an extensive felony record (including weapons possession, arson, armed robbery, burglary, and drug possession) was arrested for attempting to shoot police officers
- Notes that the Illinois General Assembly passed HB 4075 in 2014 establishing criminal background checks with fingerprinting for rideshare drivers, but it was vetoed by then-Governor Pat Quinn
