The resolution, introduced by several representatives, urges the United States House of Representatives to reject Amendment 041 to House Bill 8870, known as the BUILD America 250 Act. This amendment, proposed by Representative Vince Fong, seeks to exempt rideshare and delivery companies from vicarious liability for injuries or damages caused by their drivers, unless the companies are found to be grossly negligent or have committed criminal wrongdoing. The resolution highlights concerns that such an exemption would hinder the ability of individuals to hold these companies accountable for harm, including serious issues like sexual assault, which have been reported frequently among rideshare users.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of maintaining state rights to address and respond to local issues, arguing that federal preemption of vicarious liability would undermine states' abilities to protect their residents. It calls for the rejection of any amendments that would limit liability for rideshare companies, asserting that this could prevent legitimate claims from being pursued and ultimately compromise public safety. The resolution concludes by directing that copies be sent to key congressional leaders and Michigan's congressional delegation.
