The proposed bill, titled the "Payment Transparency for Delivery or Transportation Services Act," aims to amend existing laws concerning motor carriers by establishing new regulations for delivery companies operating in Arkansas. It introduces a new subchapter that defines key terms such as "delivery company," "delivery company customer," and "delivery company driver." The bill mandates that delivery companies must pay their drivers at least two-thirds of the payment made by customers, after deducting applicable fees. Additionally, it requires delivery companies to disclose the total amount paid by customers and the percentage that drivers will receive for their services on the digital platforms they use.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that it does not apply to traditional employee-employer relationships, thereby focusing on the gig economy and independent contractors in the delivery sector. By enhancing payment transparency, the legislation seeks to ensure fair compensation for delivery drivers and provide customers with clear information regarding payment distribution.
