Requires ride-share drivers for federal contracts to be 21 and speak English.
This bill, called the UBER Act, would set new rules for ride-share drivers who work on federal contracts. It would require these drivers to be at least 21 years old. They would also need to speak English well enough to communicate, hold a valid driver's license, and pass a road test. Ride-share companies would need to confirm their drivers meet these standards or risk losing federal contracts for 5 years.
Today, there are no specific federal laws about English skills, age, or driving tests for drivers working under federal ride-share contracts. If this bill becomes law, federal agencies would be blocked from hiring ride-share companies. This would apply unless all their drivers for those contracts are at least 21 years old and speak English. They would also need a valid driver's license and to have passed a road test.
