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 also clarifying the roles and responsibilities of drivers within these frameworks. It establishes minimum wage standards for drivers, including specific calculations based on mileage, time, and service fees, ensuring that drivers receive fair compensation for their work.

Additionally, the bill mandates that transportation companies provide certain benefits to their drivers, including an annual cost-of-living adjustment, reimbursement for healthcare-related costs, and paid sick leave based on hours worked. These provisions aim to enhance the financial security and well-being of drivers in the gig economy, reflecting a significant update to current labor standards for this sector.
