Plain-English Summary

AI-generated

Senate Bill 17-043 removes the need for transportation network company (TNC) drivers, like those who work for Uber or Lyft, to have a medical certificate before they can start driving. This means that TNC drivers no longer have to prove their health status through a medical exam. The bill has been signed into law, so it is now in effect and impacts all current and future TNC drivers in Colorado.
