PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Thursday vetoed legislation that would have exempted Uber and other ride-sharing companies from insurance regulations imposed on traditional taxi and livery companies.

Saying the bill does not offer fundamental safeguards that protect passengers, she vetoed the bill just one day after the state House of Representatives gave final approval to House Bill 2262.
