Bill Summary

AN ACT To amend Part 4 of Article 3 of Chapter 1 of Title 40 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to ride share network services and transportation referral services, so as to provide for additional requirements upon transportation referral service providers and ride share network services relative to driver safety and hiring and the privacy of personal information for drivers and passengers; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill amends Georgia's existing transportation referral service and ride share network service regulations by adding three new safety and privacy requirements. Specifically, ride share companies and transportation referral services will now be required to: (1) provide drivers with information about the violent crime rate of service locations, using Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting Program statistics to determine if a location's crime rate exceeds the national average, (2) ensure the security and privacy of personal information collected from drivers and passengers, and (3) establish a formal grievance process for drivers to address complaints or concerns. These new provisions aim to enhance driver safety and protection by giving them more information about potential risks, safeguarding their personal data, and creating a structured method for addressing workplace issues. The bill modifies existing state law by adding these requirements to the registration and operational standards for ride share and transportation referral services, with the goal of improving overall safety and transparency in the ride-sharing industry.
