Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Clear pricing and receipts for ride apps

When surge pricing is active, the app shows a clear notice before you request a ride. You must confirm you understand surge pricing, and you can see an estimated fare. Ride companies file their rates with the Public Service Commission and must charge the filed rates. After each ride, you get an electronic receipt with start and end points, time, distance, total paid, and the driver’s first name.

No surge pricing after emergencies

After the Governor declares a transportation‑related emergency, ride apps cannot use surge pricing for seven days. The ban applies only in the areas named in the emergency proclamation. The Governor can set more pricing limits during the emergency.

New limits for ride-app drivers

If you drive for a ride app, you may only take rides booked through the app. You cannot accept street hails. You may not drive more than 12 hours in any 24‑hour period. This limits how long you can be logged in and take rides.

More pricing freedom for ride apps

Ride companies can offer paid rides, free rides, or suggested payments. The Public Service Commission does not set their fares under most rate rules. Companies still follow the other pricing and disclosure rules in this law.
