CT SB00989

Transportation network companies must pay drivers at least 75% of money collected from riders for each completed prearranged ride and cannot retain more than 25% of daily collections from any driver.

Transportation network companies are prohibited from discriminating against drivers or groups of drivers for participating in discussions, organizing, or advocating for better treatment or working conditions.

Drivers can recover twice the amount owed plus reasonable attorneys' fees and costs for violations of the payment requirement; violations of non-discrimination protections allow recovery of compensatory and punitive damages plus attorneys' fees and costs.

Transportation network companies must submit quarterly reports to the Commissioner of Transportation detailing total prearranged rides completed, total money collected from riders, and total money paid to drivers.

The Labor Commissioner is authorized to enforce the provisions of this section, with the act effective July 1, 2019.
