Senate transportation network company bill set for hearing has preemptive provisions

Contact: Logan Bahr, Brandon Anderson

SB 5926, concerning transportation network companies, is scheduled for a public hearing in the Senate Transportation Committee. Transportation network companies (TNCs) are businesses entities that match passengers with drivers via websites and mobile apps.

SB 5926 includes provisions that preempt local governments from using current authority to regulate TNCs and establishes a statewide system of regulation instead.

AWC opposes the preemption language of the bill and has concerns with provisions related to fees, data collection, and other issues. We will continue to work with the bill sponsor and stakeholders on improvements.

 

Dates to remember


SB 5926 is scheduled for a public hearing on Monday, February 25 at 1:30 pm in the Senate Transportation Committee.
