Bill > HB1745

This bill amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to add Chapter 150E, which limits the vicarious liability of a transportation network company (TNC), such as Uber or Lyft, for damages arising from the use of a TNC driver's vehicle while the driver was logged into the TNC's digital network. Specifically, the bill states that a TNC cannot be held vicariously liable for such damages unless the claimant proves by clear and convincing evidence that the TNC was grossly negligent, and the TNC has fulfilled its obligations under the Occupations Code related to the driver. The changes in this law will apply to causes of action that accrue on or after September 1, 2023.
