Ordinance Under Consideration; Barring Of Elvis Garb Prompted Push

SEATTLE -- The Seattle City Council will consider the Elvis cab ordinance next month that would allow cab drivers to wear costumes.

Drivers are now required to wear black pants and crisp shirts.

The proposed ordinance was prompted by cab driver Dave Groh, who was forced to stop wearing his Elvis costume.  

Under the proposed change, costumes would have to be approved by the cab companies and reported to the city. Masks, too much face paint, floppy shoes and skimpy outfits would still be forbidden.

Drivers would still have to post their identification in the cars with pictures of themselves in and out of costume.
