HD 632 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to impose fines on transportation network drivers who discriminate against riders with disabilities who use service animals

This bill (HD 632) adds penalties for transportation network drivers (like Uber or Lyft drivers) who refuse service to riders with disabilities using service animals. It creates a tiered fine system: $500 for a first offense, $750 for a second, and $1,000 for a third violation. The law amends existing rules to require drivers to comply with anti-discrimination protections for service animal users and imposes these specific monetary penalties. It directly affects drivers in app-based ride services who discriminate against riders with disabilities.
