Senate Bill 23-098 would require delivery or rideshare companies to provide transparency regarding fares and the amount that goes to the driver. It would also require transparency about its driver termination and rehiring procedure. Under the bill, drivers who are terminated would be allowed an administrative review, which would be overseen by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.
“The driver is presumed to be innocent unless the company can prove they did it, and it's going to put companies in a position to say, 'Hey, I have to call this rider who survived this incident, traumatize them again, and ask them to come into the state labor department so we can keep this person off the platform or risk this person back on the platform,'” said Harry Hartfield with Uber.
“We do have a pretty clear exception in the bill for serious offenses like sexual assault or something like that,” said Vigil.
