The criminalisation and fining of illegal taxi services, such as Jersey Lifts, could be a closer to becoming law.
The suggested penalties, proposed by Deputy Catherine Curtis, have now received endorsement from the Infrastructure Minister.
Constable Andy Jehan says he supports changing the Motor Traffic Law, and wants the unlawful services to be 'investigated', to 'deter' them through more prosecutions.

The minister say he wants to work with the Council of Ministers, including the Minister for Justice and Home Affairs, on the issue.
He has proposed an amendment to the backbencher's suggestion, pushing back the implementation date to June 2027, rather than next March.
Deputy Catherine Curtis proposed that legislation be updated to protect passengers from unsafe or uninsured rides and to safeguard the livelihoods of registered taxi drivers, who pay social security and taxes.
The law change could mean drivers face a fine of up to £10,000, and passengers up to £1,000.
A vote is due at the next States sitting.
