Establishes provisions protecting transportation network companies from vicarious liability

HB 1255 limits liability for transportation network companies (TNCs) like Uber or Lyft. It prevents TNCs from being held responsible for harm caused by drivers using their app while logged in, provided the company wasn’t negligent and met all state requirements for driver safety and background checks. The bill directly affects TNCs and their drivers by shifting liability away from the companies in specific situations involving vehicle operation. This change modifies how TNCs are legally treated under Missouri law regarding driver-related incidents.
