AI Summary

This bill aims to regulate labor standards for transportation network drivers. It requires transportation network companies to pay their drivers at least 80% of the fares collected from completed rides and any fees collected for cancelled rides. The bill also establishes a Transportation Network Company Drivers Fund, which will be funded by a 5-cent fee collected from each completed ride, to provide compensation to drivers and their families for wage replacement and medical costs when a driver is injured while working. Additionally, the bill mandates that every five years, municipalities must assess and determine a pre-set number of permits to be granted to transportation network companies or drivers for operations within the municipality. The bill also directs the Department of Public Utilities to conduct a study on the potential adoption of vehicle utilization standards and regulations limiting the number of transportation network company vehicle licenses in the state, and prohibits the issuance of new ride-share vehicle permits during the study period, with an exception for wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
