HB 4282, the Oklahoma Driver Fairness and Transparency Act, requires app-based transportation and delivery platforms (like Uber or DoorDash) to provide drivers with clear, upfront details about pay, trip destinations, and incentives before they accept a ride or delivery. It mandates that platforms display the full compensation amount (including base pay and tips), exact pickup/drop-off locations, and any conditions in real time, with minimum acceptance windows of 30 seconds for rideshares and 60 seconds for deliveries. The bill also requires itemized receipts within 24 hours showing all fees, taxes, and trip details, guarantees 100% of tips go directly to drivers (with limited exceptions for fraud), and prohibits platforms from retaliating against drivers for declining offers or using third-party tools. This law directly affects independent contractor drivers working for platforms in Oklahoma, aiming to increase transparency in pay and operations.
