HB 817- Relating to Transportation Network Companies
On Tuesday, March 10th, HB 817, relating to Transportation Network Companies, by Rep. Matthew Gaetz (R-Fort Walton Beach) passed through the House Transportation & Ports Subcommittee with 9 yeas and 3 nays.
Currently, Transportation Network Companies (TNC) are not referenced in the state of Florida’s statute, however, some jurisdictions at the local level have enacted regulations regarding the TNC. This bill prompts the state to create a regulatory framework for the operation of TNC’s, instead of regulations being created at the local level. AIF’s Senior Vice President of State and Federal Affairs, Brewster Bevis, stood in support of this bill.
AIF supports statewide digital transportation service policies to create price competition, promote consumer choice, enhance customer experience, create jobs and remove anti-competitive local regulations.
