Lawmakers Demand Ride-Hail Accountability

Lawmakers Demand Ride-Hail Accountability

Published 2 days, 22 hours ago
Description

Six Nebraska lawmakers are rallying with over 275 legislators nationwide to demand House Speaker Mike Johnson scrap a controversial amendment that could cripple accountability for ride-hailing giants like Uber and Lyft—especially in sexual assault cases. While proponents tout lower insurance costs and fewer lawsuits, critics cite alarming data: 400,000+ reports of sexual violence tied to Uber trips between 2017-2022. They warn the amendment could override state safety laws, leaving survivors without justice and corporations unchallenged. Backed by 120 Democratic lawmakers, the push prioritizes safety and state autonomy over corporate profits.
