These bills aim to establish a regulatory framework for Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) and how they operate throughout communities in Florida.

The bills define what constitutes a “TNC vehicle”, set in place insurance requirements, and preempts authority to the state. This will allow for a streamlined set of rules to be followed throughout the state.

HB 221 will now go to the floor of the Senate for consideration.

SB 340 will now go to the Senate floor to be heard.

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.
