Motor vehicles; require ride share network services to provide ride share drivers with certain information on a monthly basis
Georgia House Bill 1494 has been introduced but not enacted. If enacted, it would declare it state public policy to protect ride share drivers regardless of their employment status (Section 1). It would amend Code Section 40-1-193(c) to add a requirement that ride share network services comply with a new Code Section 40-1-202 (Section 2). New Code Section 40-1-202 (Section 3) would require services to give drivers: (b)(1) estimated mileage, minutes, and compensation before a driver accepts a trip; (b)(2) an electronic receipt within 24 hours of each trip showing passenger platform time, mileage, pay rates (including any price multiplier or variable pricing), compensation and tips, gross payment, and itemized deductions and net pay; and (b)(3) a monthly report with the driver's effective hourly rate, average compensation per mile and per minute, and an explanation of any algorithmic pay adjustments, bonuses, or penalties. Under subsection (c), within 24 hours of an account deactivation (lasting over three consecutive days) or termination, the service must give written notice stating the specific reasons (with incident date and time, except for sexual assault or harassment incidents), describing the supporting evidence and how to review it (with passenger and witness personal information redacted), and explaining an appeal process. Section 4 repeals conflicting laws.
