HF 618 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to digital networks utilized by transportation network companies.

HF 618 clarifies that digital platforms used by ride-hailing services (like Uber or Lyft) are not considered "products" under Iowa law. It specifically defines a "digital network" as an online app, website, or system enabling riders to prearrange rides with drivers, excluding these platforms from product-related regulations. This bill directly affects transportation network companies by ensuring their digital services are not subject to product-specific legal definitions in Iowa Code. The change is purely definitional, with no new requirements or restrictions added to these services.
