This bill proposes to amend title 23, chapter 2 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding article 9.1, which introduces new definitions and wage requirements for transportation network and delivery company drivers. The bill defines terms such as "digital network or software application," "transportation delivery company," and "transportation delivery services," while maintaining existing definitions for "transportation network company" and "transportation network company driver" as prescribed in section 28-9551.

Under the new provisions, drivers will be entitled to a minimum wage based on various calculations, including a per-mile rate, a per-minute rate, and a minimum service fee, as well as a share of cancellation fees. Additionally, transportation delivery company drivers will receive enhanced pay for extended delivery times or distances. The bill also mandates that companies provide annual cost-of-living adjustments, reimbursements for healthcare costs, and paid sick leave based on hours worked. Overall, these updates aim to improve compensation and benefits for drivers in the gig economy.
