HB 1273: Transportation Network Company Maximum Percent Fare Retention

Official summary

Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.

The bill prohibits a transportation network company (TNC) from retaining more than 20% of a consumer fare paid for a driver's completion of a transportation task through the TNC's digital platform. 'Consumer fare' is defined in the bill as the amount a consumer pays for a transportation task, excluding tips, and pass-throughs such as payments for tolls, taxes, airport fees, and payments for a certified driver support organization . The amount that a TNC excludes from a consumer fare payment for a certified driver support organization must not exceed the per-task amount determined by rule and must be remitted to the certified driver support organization. Pass-throughs must be paid to the driver. A TNC is also not allowed to impose a fee on a TNC driver unless the amount of the fee plus the amount that the TNC retains from a consumer fare does not exceed 20% of the consumer fare.      The bill adds disclosures regarding airport fees, pass-throughs, taxes, and payments for a driver support organization to be added to periodic disclosures TNCs make to the division of labor standards and statistics in the department of labor and employment and changes the frequency of the disclosures from semi-annual reporting to annual reporting.      Finally, the bill applies the same process to complaints against TNCs concerning violations of disclosure and deactivation policy requirements as the process that is applied to wage complaints.(Note: Italicized words indicate new material added to the original summary; dashes through words indicate deletions from the original summary.)(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
