BPC § 7470.1 Effective Jan 1, 2026Div. 3 · Ch. 10.7

Statute text

(a)It is the policy of the State of California to encourage and protect the right of transportation network company drivers to full freedom of association, self-organization, and designation of representatives of their own choosing to negotiate the compensation that they receive as well as other terms and conditions of their agreements with transportation network companies.

(b)The benefit to the state’s economy from negotiated agreements between transportation network company drivers and the transportation network companies, including where those agreements are multiparty, sectoral agreements, outweighs the anticompetitive effect of those agreements. It is the state’s intent that the state action antitrust exemption to the application of federal and state antitrust laws shall apply to the activities of transportation network company drivers, transportation network company driver organizations, bargaining representatives for transportation network company drivers, and transportation network companies when they are participating in negotiations and other activities as authorized or regulated by this chapter.

(c)The purposes of this chapter are to provide transportation network company drivers the opportunity to self-organize and designate representatives of their own choosing in order to bargain with transportation network companies, to facilitate the prevention or prompt resolution of disputes between transportation network companies and transportation network company drivers, and to improve the working conditions of transportation network company drivers and therefore the services provided to the general public.
