Subcommittee approves rideshare transparency bill requiring driver and aggregate reporting to DMV
Summary
House Bill 2756 would require transportation‑network companies to provide weekly driver earnings statements and to report aggregate fare and driver‑compensation data to the DMV; the subcommittee reported the substitute 6‑1.
Delegate Elliot Singh said House Bill 2756 seeks to increase transparency for drivers working for transportation‑network companies (TNCs). The substitute requires TNCs to submit annual aggregate data on fares and driver compensation to the DMV, give drivers weekly statements showing fares collected and driver pay, and disclose deactivation procedures so drivers understand the standards that could lead to account deactivation.
"At present, ride sharing companies can charge more to riders but give drivers less... This bill has three provisions," Singh said, summarizing the reporting obligations and disclosures the substitute would create.
Representatives from Uber and driver advocacy groups said they worked with the sponsor on language; corporate representatives signaled conditional support for the substitute, subject to technical preparation time for data systems. After a motion, the subcommittee voted 6‑1 to report the substitute to the full committee.
