Bill > SB719

This bill modifies Missouri state law to protect transportation network companies (TNCs), like Uber or Lyft, from being held vicariously liable (legally responsible for another's actions) for harm or damages that occur when a driver is logged onto their digital network. Specifically, the bill states that a TNC cannot be held legally responsible for incidents involving a driver's vehicle if two conditions are met: first, the TNC itself has not been negligent or committed any criminal wrongdoing, and second, the TNC has fully complied with all legal requirements outlined in sections 387.400 to 387.440 regarding TNC driver regulations. This provision aims to clarify and limit the legal exposure of transportation network companies by establishing a clear standard for when they can be shielded from liability for incidents involving their drivers, while still maintaining requirements for responsible business practices.
