HB 817- Relating to Transportation Network Companies
On Tuesday, April 28th, HB 817, relating to Transportation Network Companies, by Rep. Matthew Gaetz (R-Shalimar) died on the House floor, due to the House deciding to Sine Die 3 days before session was scheduled to end.

This bill would have prompted the state to create a regulatory framework for the operation of Transportation Network Companies (TCN) instead of regulations being created at the local level. Two huge safety requirements this bill would have enacted are, TCN drivers to have ample insurance coverage for both the driver and passengers, as well as the drivers being cleared through a background check.

HB 817 has been “temporarily postponed” will not move forward in the process for the 2015 legislative session.

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.
