HB 221-Relating to Transportation Network Companies (TNCs)  
On Wednesday, April 19th, HB 221, by Representative Chris Sprowls (R-Clearwater) and Representative James Grant (R-Tampa), was substituted for its Senate companion, SB 340 by Senator Jeff Brandes (R-St. Petersburg), was then read for a third time on the Senate floor and passed  by a vote of 36 yeas to 1 nays. 

This bill aims to establish a regulatory framework for Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) and how they operate throughout communities in Florida. HB 221 defines what constitutes as a “TNC vehicle”, sets in place insurance requirements and preempts authority to the state, which will allow for a streamlined set of rules to be followed throughout the state.

HB 221 will now go to the desk of the Governor.
