House Bill 5470 introduces new regulations for transportation network companies (TNCs) and third-party delivery companies, requiring them to provide detailed electronic receipts to both riders and drivers. For riders, TNCs must disclose fare information before a prearranged ride and send an initial receipt within five minutes after the ride's completion, followed by a finalized receipt within 24 hours. The receipts must include various details such as the date, time, origin, destination, total time and distance, driver's first name, itemization of the total fare, and compensation paid to the driver. The bill prohibits cash payments and requires companies to inform riders about dynamic pricing before they request a ride. For drivers, companies must send receipts with similar details and provide weekly summaries of their rides, including earnings and deductions. The bill also updates definitions related to TNCs and drivers, removing the specification that a driver is not an employee of a TNC.

Additionally, the bill outlines requirements for third-party delivery companies to provide electronic receipts to customers and drivers, containing detailed information about the delivery and payment. It mandates the maintenance of digital copies of receipts for at least three years. The bill also instructs the Commissioner of Transportation to negotiate with neighboring states to allow TNC drivers licensed in one state to operate in others, with a report due by January 1, 2025. Most provisions of the bill will take effect on July 1, 2024, with the reciprocity agreement provision effective upon passage. The bill has no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities and includes minor amendments for drafting conformity.
