CT SB00226

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 total daily moneys collected from any driver.

Transportation network companies are prohibited from discriminating against drivers or groups of drivers based on participation in discussions, organizing, or advocacy regarding better treatment or working conditions.

Drivers may recover twice the amount owed plus reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in civil actions for violations of pay requirements, or compensatory and punitive damages plus reasonable attorneys' fees and costs for discrimination violations.

Transportation network companies must report quarterly to the Commissioner of Transportation the total number of completed rides, total money collected from riders, and total money paid to drivers.

The Labor Commissioner is authorized to enforce these provisions, with the act effective July 1, 2020.
