Bill > A10101

This bill aims to protect high-volume for-hire vehicle drivers, such as those working for ride-sharing companies, from being unfairly deactivated from their platforms. It generally prohibits these services from deactivating drivers unless there is "just cause" (meaning the driver engaged in serious misconduct or failed to perform their duties), a "bona fide economic reason" (like a significant drop in business or the company ceasing operations in the city), or if legally required to do so. The bill outlines specific procedures for deactivation, including advance notice and the reasons for it, and provides drivers with rights to challenge deactivations and seek reinstatement or compensation. For areas outside of New York City, the Office of the Attorney General will be responsible for enforcing these provisions, while within New York City, the city's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection will handle enforcement.
