Bill > SB1530

This bill, by adding a new section to Chapter 387 of the Missouri Revised Statutes (RSMo), clarifies the circumstances under which a Transportation Network Company (TNC) is not held vicariously liable for harm caused by a TNC driver. A TNC is a company that connects passengers with drivers using a digital platform, like Uber or Lyft. Vicarious liability means a company can be held responsible for the actions of its employees or contractors, even if the company itself wasn't directly negligent. Under this bill, a TNC will not be held responsible for harm to people or property resulting from a TNC vehicle's use while the driver is logged into the TNC's digital network, provided two conditions are met: first, the TNC itself was not negligent or involved in any criminal wrongdoing according to Missouri or federal law, and second, the TNC has met all its legal duties and responsibilities towards the TNC driver as outlined in sections 387.400 to 387.440 of the RSMo.
