AI Summary

This bill, known as the Oklahoma Driver Fairness and Transparency Act, aims to provide greater transparency and protection for drivers who use platform applications for transportation or delivery services, such as TNC (Transportation Network Company) drivers or CAS (Courier Application Service) drivers. It mandates that platforms must provide drivers with complete information about compensation, including known tips, and trip details before they accept an offer, with specific minimum acceptance windows for different types of offers. The act also ensures that 100% of tips go to the driver and protects them from losing compensation if a consumer reduces a tip within 24 hours, unless there's documented fraud. Furthermore, it prohibits platforms from retaliating against drivers for using third-party tools or assistive technologies, which are software or hardware that help drivers operate platform applications, and requires platforms to allow for reasonable accommodations for these technologies. The bill establishes clear procedures for deactivation (disabling a driver's access for 72 hours or more) and suspension (limiting access for less than 72 hours), requiring written notice of reasons, evidence, and a process for human review and appeal, with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission overseeing rules and potential fines, and the Oklahoma Attorney General's office empowered to enforce the act. Drivers can also pursue civil actions for violations, and the act preserves drivers' independent contractor status.
