Uber warned Colorado that it may cease operations in the state entirely if a new bill targeting rideshare companies were to become law.
The Colorado House of Representatives successfully passed a bill designed to “increase protections for persons engaged with transportation network companies” on April 16. Among those protections included conducting a regular criminal background check for drivers every six months and requiring drivers to make audio and video recordings of trips.
The HB25-1291 bill passed on 59-6 bipartisan vote before it was referred to the Senate Committee on Business, Labor, & Technology, where it was amended to the Committee of the Whole on a 4-3 vote on Tuesday. The bill will be reviewed by the state Senate on Friday.
