Bill > HF2369

This bill establishes protections for transportation network company (TNC) drivers in Minnesota. Key provisions include: 1. Minimum compensation requirements for TNC drivers, including a minimum per-mile and per-minute rate, cancellation fees, and long pickup fees. These rates will be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index. 2. Restrictions on TNC deactivation policies, requiring clear written rules, fair procedures for driver reconsideration, and permanent deactivation for certain criminal convictions. Drivers deactivated since 2021 have the right to request a reconsideration meeting. 3. Prohibitions on TNC discrimination and retaliation against drivers. 4. Allowing drivers to bring civil actions against TNCs for noncompliance with the law. 5. Subjecting TNCs to license revocation for failure to comply with the law. 6. Increased transparency requirements, including details on driver compensation and trip information. The bill also amends the definition of "transit operator" in the criminal code to include TNC drivers, subjecting those who assault or intentionally transfer bodily fluids onto them to potential gross misdemeanor charges.
