A 482 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires transportation network companies to share information concerning sexual misconduct investigation of driver; authorizes transportation network company to ban drivers from accessing digital network during and following investigation.

This New Jersey bill (A482) requires transportation network companies (like Uber or Lyft) to share details about sexual misconduct investigations involving their drivers with other companies and to temporarily ban drivers during and after such investigations. It mandates that drivers disclose prior sexual misconduct allegations when applying, and companies must verify this history across all platforms. The law aims to enhance passenger safety by preventing drivers with substantiated misconduct histories from continuing to operate. It applies specifically to companies using digital platforms for prearranged rides, not traditional taxis or ride-sharing services. The bill does not specify penalties for noncompliance but establishes a process for information sharing between companies.
