10400HB4743ham001 LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 4743
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 4743 by replacing
everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
Transportation Network Driver Labor Relations Act.
Section 2. Findings; legislative intent; construction.
(a) The General Assembly finds that the growing rate of
technological advancement has fundamentally altered the way
that many people work within the State in the transportation
sector, in which companies connect, through an online
application, persons seeking passenger transportation services
to persons willing to supply those transportation services.
These persons willing to supply those transportation services,
known as transportation network drivers, often suffer poor
pay, inadequate health coverage, and lack of other benefits.
It is hereby declared that the best interests of the people of

10400HB4743ham001 - 2 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
this State are served by providing transportation network
drivers the opportunity to self-organize, designate
representatives of their own choosing, and bargain
collectively on a sectoral basis in order to obtain
sustainable wages, benefits, and working conditions, subject
to approval and ongoing supervision by the State. It is
further declared that the best interests of the people of this
State are served by the prevention or prompt resolution of
disputes between transportation network companies and the
transportation network drivers who supply the labor to
effectuate those services through collective bargaining on a
sectoral basis, subject to approval and ongoing supervision by
the State. This Act shall be deemed an exercise of the police
power of the State for the protection of the public welfare,
prosperity, health, and peace of the people of the State, and
shall be liberally construed for the accomplishment of its
purposes.
(b) The General Assembly finds that it is in the public
policy interests of the State to displace competition with
regulation of the terms and conditions of work for
transportation network drivers; and, consistent with this
policy, to exempt from federal and State antitrust laws any
conduct authorized under this Act, including the formation of
transportation network driver organizations and multi-company
associations for the purposes of collective bargaining on a
sectoral basis between transportation network companies and

10400HB4743ham001 - 3 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
transportation network drivers on an industry-wide basis, and
to supervise, evaluate, and if approved, implement the
resulting sectoral agreements concerning industry regulations
for the terms and conditions of work for all transportation
network drivers in an industry when such sectoral agreements
are found by the Department of Labor to advance the public
purposes stated in this Section and are then made binding,
regardless of the anticompetitive consequences.
(c) It is the intent and policy of the State:
(1) To grant transportation network drivers the right
to form, join, or assist transportation network driver
organizations, to be represented through representatives
of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted
activities for the purpose of bargaining with
transportation network companies and to create negotiated
recommendations in the form of a sectoral agreement, which
shall form the basis for industry regulations, and for the
purpose of other mutual aid or protection; and
(2) To grant transportation network companies the
right to form multi-company associations to represent them
while bargaining with a transportation network driver
organization to create negotiated recommendations in the
form of a sectoral agreement, which shall form the basis
for industry regulations.
(d) The intent and policy of the State is for the statutory
and non-statutory labor exemptions from the federal antitrust

10400HB4743ham001 - 4 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
laws and analogous State laws to apply to transportation
network drivers who choose to form, join, or assist labor
organizations in labor activity, to transportation network
driver organizations who organize and represent such drivers,
and to transportation network companies who may choose to form
an industry association to negotiate on their behalf or
otherwise engage in labor activity, permitted by this Act.
(e) The intent and policy of the State in authorizing and
regulating transportation network companies, transportation
network drivers engaging in labor activity, and transportation
network driver organizations, permitted by this Act, is that
state action immunity apply to this Act, including the
sectoral agreement approved by the Department of Labor, and
that such transportation network companies, transportation
network drivers, and transportation network driver
organizations be immune from the federal and State antitrust
laws to the fullest extent possible in their conduct pursuant
to this Act.
(f) The State shall actively supervise the qualified labor
activity permitted by this Act conducted by transportation
network companies, transportation network drivers, and
transportation network driver organizations pursuant to this
Act to ensure that the conduct permitted by this Act protects
the rights of workers and companies, encourages collective
bargaining on a sectoral basis and labor peace, and otherwise
advances the purposes of this Act.

restraint, or coercion by TNCs, and shall also have the right
to refrain from any of these activities. Nothing contained in
this Act shall be interpreted to prohibit TNDs from exercising
the right to confer with TNCs at any time, provided that during
such conference there is no attempt by such TNC, directly or
indirectly, to interfere with, restrain, or coerce such
workers in the exercise of the rights guaranteed by this Act.

10400HB4743ham001 - 10 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
Section 6. Unfair work practices.

for, purposes of bargaining and the performance of its
other duties required by this Act.
(5) Fail or refuse to continue all the terms of a
determination of terms and conditions of work approved or
prescribed by the Department pursuant to this Act until a
new determination is approved or prescribed, unless in
accordance with a recognized exception under the law.
(6) Dominate or interfere with the formation,
existence, or administration of any TND organization, or

10400HB4743ham001 - 11 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
to contribute financial or other support to any such
organization, directly or indirectly, unless required by
this Act or by any rules implementing this Act, including,
but not limited to, the following:
(i) by participating or assisting in, supervising,
or controlling (1) the initiation or creation of any
such organization or (2) the meetings, management,
operation, elections, formulation or amendment of
constitution, rules, or policies, of any such
organization;
(ii) by offering incentives to TNDs to join any
such organization; or
(iii) by donating free services, equipment,
materials, office or meeting space or anything else of
value for the use of any such organization; provided
that a TNC may permit TNDs to perform representational
work protected under this Act during working hours
without loss of time or pay or allow agents of a TND
organization that is the exclusive representative of
its TNDs to meet with TNDs on its premises or
communicate with TNDs via the TNC's platform.
(7) Require a TND to join any company union or TND
organization or to require a TND to refrain from forming,
or joining or assisting a TND organization of their own
choosing.
(8) Encourage membership in any company union or

10400HB4743ham001 - 12 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
discourage membership in any TND organization, by
discrimination in regard to any term or condition of work.
(9) Deactivate or otherwise discriminate against a TND
because they have signed or filed any charge, affidavit,
petition, or complaint or given any information or
testimony under this Act.
(10) Distribute or circulate any blacklist of
individuals exercising any right created or confirmed by
this Act or of members of a TND organization, or to inform
any person of the exercise by any individual of such right
or of the membership of any individual in a TND
organization for the purpose of preventing individuals so
blacklisted or so named from obtaining or retaining
opportunities for remuneration.
(11) Perform any acts, other than those already
enumerated in this Section, which interfere with,
restrain, or coerce TNDs in the exercise of the rights
guaranteed by this Act.
(b) It is an unfair work practice for a TND organization
to:
(1) Fail or refuse to negotiate in good faith with a
TNC concerning mandatory subjects of bargaining, provided
that the TND organization is the certified exclusive
bargaining representative of the TNC's transportation
network drivers, including by refusing to provide
information requested by a TNC that is relevant and

10400HB4743ham001 - 13 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
necessary for the purposes of bargaining and the
performance of its other duties required by this Act.
(2) Restrain or coerce TNDs in the exercise of the
rights guaranteed by this Act, provided that this
paragraph shall not impair the right of a TND organization
to prescribe its own rules with respect to the acquisition
or retention of membership in the organization.
(3) Fail or refuse to fulfill its duty of fair
representation by intentional misconduct in representing
TNDs where it is the certified exclusive bargaining
representative.
(4) Restrain or coerce a TNC in the selection of its
representatives for the purpose of bargaining or the
adjustment of grievances.
(5) Cause or attempt to cause a TNC to discriminate
against a TND in violation of paragraph (9) of subsection
(a) of Section 6.
(c) For the purposes of this Section, "to negotiate in
good faith" means the performance of the mutual obligation of
the transportation network companies or their agents or
representatives and the exclusive bargaining representative to
meet at reasonable times and negotiate in good faith with
respect to mandatory subjects of bargaining, or the
negotiation of a sectoral agreement under Section 12, or any
question arising thereunder, and to execute a written contract
incorporating any agreement reached if requested by either

10400HB4743ham001 - 14 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
party. However, this mutual obligation does not compel the
transportation network companies or the exclusive bargaining
representative to agree to a proposal or require the making of
a concession.
Section 7. Prevention of unfair work practices.
(a) The Board is empowered and directed to prevent any TNC
and any TND organization from engaging in any unfair work
practice described in this Act. This power shall not be
affected or impaired by any means of adjustment, mediation, or
conciliation in labor disputes that have been or may hereafter
be established by law or by the determination provided for in
subsection (i) of Section 12. In order to prevent unfair work
practices, each TNC shall, at least once each year, send a text
message and an email to each of its active TNDs in a form
determined by the Board notifying the TNDs of their rights
under this Act, and the procedure for filing an unfair work
practice charge. The TNC shall provide the notice in all
languages that the Board determines are likely spoken by 5% or
more of TNC drivers. The Board shall also post a copy of this
notice on its website.
(b) No complaint shall issue based upon any unfair work
practice occurring more than 6 months prior to the filing of a
charge with the Board and the service of a copy upon the person
against whom the charge is made. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this subsection, if the aggrieved party did not

10400HB4743ham001 - 15 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
reasonably have knowledge of the alleged unfair work practice,
the 6-month filing and service period shall begin to run when
the charging party knew, or reasonably should have known, of
the actions which constitute the alleged unfair work practice.
(c) Whenever it is charged that any person has engaged in,
or is engaging in, any unfair work practice, the Board, or any
agent or agency designated by the Board for such purposes,
shall conduct an investigation of the charge. If after such
investigation the Board finds that the charge involves a
dispositive issue of law or fact, the Board shall issue a
complaint and cause to be served upon the person a complaint
stating the charges, accompanied by a notice of hearing before
the Board or a member designated by the Board, or before a
qualified hearing officer designated by the Board at the
offices of the Board or such other location as the Board deems
appropriate, not less than 5 days after serving of such
complaint. Any such complaint may be amended by the member or
hearing officer conducting the hearing for the Board in their
discretion at any time prior to the issuance of an order based
thereon. The person who is the subject of the complaint has the
right to file an answer to the original or amended complaint
and to appear in person or by a representative and give
testimony at the place and time fixed in the complaint. In the
discretion of the member or hearing officer conducting the
hearing or the Board, any other person may be allowed to
intervene in the proceeding and to present testimony. In any

10400HB4743ham001 - 16 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
hearing conducted by the Board, neither the Board nor the
member or agent conducting the hearing shall be bound by the
rules of evidence applicable to courts, except as to the rules
of privilege recognized by law.
(d) The Board shall have the power to issue subpoenas and
administer oaths. If any party willfully fails or neglects to
appear or testify or to produce books, papers, and records
pursuant to the issuance of a subpoena by the Board, the Board
may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to request that
such party be ordered to appear before the Board to testify or
produce the requested evidence.
(e) Any testimony taken by the Board, or a member
designated by the Board or a hearing officer, must be reduced
to writing and filed with the Board. A full and complete record
shall be kept of all proceedings before the Board, and all
proceedings shall be transcribed by a reporter appointed by
the Board. The party on whom the burden of proof rests shall be
required to sustain such burden by a preponderance of the
evidence, and the charging party shall have the burden of
proving the unfair work practice accordingly. If, upon a
preponderance of the evidence taken, the Board is of the
opinion that any person named in the charge has engaged in or
is engaging in an unfair work practice, then it shall state its
findings of fact and shall issue and cause to be served upon
the person an order requiring them to cease and desist from the
unfair work practice, and to take such affirmative action as

10400HB4743ham001 - 17 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
will effectuate the provisions of this Act including, but not
limited to: (i) withdrawal of recognition from and refraining
from sectoral bargaining with any organization or association,
agency, or plan that is either defined in this Act as a company
union or established, maintained, or assisted by any action
defined in this Act as an unfair work practice; (ii) awarding
of back compensation without any reduction based on the TND's
interim earnings or failure to earn interim earnings and, upon
a showing of egregious misconduct, an additional amount as
liquidated damages equal to 2 times the amount of back
compensation awarded; (iii) requiring reengagement or
reestablishment of the TNC's preexisting relationship with an
improperly adversely affected TND with or without
compensation, or maintenance of a preferential list from which
such TND shall be reengaged or the relationship reestablished,
and such order may further require such respondent to make
reports from time to time showing the extent to which the order
has been complied with; (iv) requiring the TNC to recognize
and bargain with a TND organization if the Board determines
that the unfair work practice interfered with the TND's right
to form or join a TND organization; and (v) requiring the
respondent to comply with any other obligation of this Act.
The Board's order may in its discretion also include an
appropriate sanction, based on the Board's rules, and the
sanction may include an order to pay the other party or
parties' reasonable expenses including costs and reasonable

10400HB4743ham001 - 18 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
attorney's fees, if the other party has made allegations or
denials without reasonable cause and found to be untrue or has
engaged in frivolous litigation for the purpose of delay or
needless increase in the cost of litigation. If the Board
awards back compensation, damages, or monetary sanction, it
shall also award interest at the rate of 7% per annum. The
Board's order may further require the person to make reports
from time to time, and demonstrate the extent to which the
person has complied with the order. If there is no
preponderance of evidence to indicate to the Board that the
person named in the charge has engaged in or is engaging in the
unfair work practice, then the Board shall state its findings
of fact and shall issue an order dismissing the complaint.
(f) Until the record in a case has been filed in court, the
Board at any time, upon reasonable notice and in such manner as
it deems proper, may modify or set aside, in whole or in part,
any finding or order made or issued by it.
(g) A charging party or any person aggrieved by a final
order of the Board granting or denying in whole or in part the
relief sought may apply for and obtain judicial review of an
order of the Board entered under this Act, in accordance with
the provisions of the Administrative Review Law, except that
such judicial review shall be afforded directly in the
Appellate Court for the district in which the aggrieved party
resides or transacts business, and such judicial review shall
not be available for the purpose of challenging a final order

10400HB4743ham001 - 19 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
issued by the Board pursuant to Section 10 for which judicial
review has been petitioned pursuant to subsection (f) of
Section 10. Any direct appeal to the Appellate Court shall be
filed within 35 days after the date that a copy of the decision
sought to be reviewed was served upon the party affected by the
decision. The filing of such an appeal to the Appellate Court
shall not automatically stay the enforcement of the Board's
order. An aggrieved party may apply to the Appellate Court for
a stay of the enforcement of the Board's order after the
aggrieved party has followed the procedure prescribed by
Supreme Court Rule 335. The Board in proceedings under this
Section shall request and may obtain an order of the court for
the enforcement of the Board's order.
(h) Whenever it appears that any person has violated a
final order of the Board issued pursuant to this Section, the
Board must commence an action in the name of the People of the
State of Illinois by petition, alleging the violation,
attaching a copy of the order of the Board, and praying for the
issuance of an order directing the person, the person's
officers, agents, servants, successors, and assigns to comply
with the order of the Board. The Board shall be represented in
this action by the Attorney General in accordance with the
Attorney General Act. The court may grant or refuse, in whole
or in part, the relief sought, provided that the court may stay
an order of the Board in accordance with the Administrative
Review Law, pending disposition of the proceedings. The court

10400HB4743ham001 - 20 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
may punish a violation of its order as in civil contempt. The
proceedings provided in this paragraph shall be commenced in
the Appellate Court for the district where the unfair work
practice which is the subject of the Board's order was
committed, or where a person required to cease and desist by
such order resides or transacts business. In case of the
enforcement of an order of the Board, the Appellate Court
shall have the power to issue any injunctive or equitable
remedy it finds appropriate, and in the case of a Board order
which requires the payment of money, the Appellate Court shall
have the power to enter judgment for the amount justified by
the record and for costs, which judgment may be enforced as
other judgments for the recovery of money.
(i)(1) A party filing an unfair work practice charge under
this Section may petition the Board to obtain injunctive
relief, pending a decision on the merits of the charge by the
Board, a member designated by the Board, or a hearing officer
designated by the Board, upon a showing that: (i) it is likely
to succeed on the merits; (ii) it is likely to suffer
irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief; (iii)
the balance of equities tips in its favor; and (iv) an
injunction is in the public interest. The immediate and
irreparable harm may include the chilling of TNDs in the
exercise of rights provided or protected by this Act.
(2) Within 30 days after the receipt by the Board of such
petition for injunctive relief, if the Board determines that a

10400HB4743ham001 - 21 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
charging party has made a sufficient showing pursuant to
paragraph (1) the Board, through the Attorney General, shall
petition the circuit court where the alleged unfair work
practice was allegedly committed, or where a person required
to cease and desist from such alleged unfair work practice
resides or transacts business, for appropriate temporary
relief or restraining order. If the Board fails to act within
10 days, the Board shall be deemed to have made a final order
determining not to seek injunctive relief. If the Board
determines not to seek injunctive relief, or if the Board or
Attorney General do not petition the circuit court for such
injunctive relief within 30 days after the filing of the
charging party's petition with the Board, the charging party
may seek injunctive relief by petition to the circuit court,
in which case the Board must be joined as a necessary party.
(3) Upon the filing of any petition for injunctive relief
as provided in the preceding paragraph, such injunctive relief
may be granted by the court, after hearing all parties, if it
determines that there is a sufficient showing under paragraph
(1). The relief shall expire on decision by the Board, a member
designated by the Board, or a hearing officer designated by
the Board finding no unfair work practice to have occurred,
successful appeal of the grant of injunctive relief, or
successful motion to vacate or modify such injunctive relief
pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure. Any injunctive relief
in effect pending a decision by the Board (i) shall expire upon

10400HB4743ham001 - 22 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
a decision by the Board finding no unfair work practice to have
occurred, of which the Board shall notify the court
immediately, or (ii) shall remain in effect only to the extent
it implements any remedial order issued by the Board in its
decision, of which the Board shall notify the court
immediately.
(4) A decision on the merits of the unfair work practice
charge by the Board finding an unfair work practice to have
occurred shall continue the injunctive relief until either (i)
the respondent implements the remedy, or (ii) the Board's
order is set aside in an action for review of the Board's order
pursuant to the Administrative Review Law as set forth in
subsection (g).
(5) The appeal of any order granting, denying, modifying,
or vacating injunctive relief ordered by the court pursuant to
this subsection shall be made in accordance with the Code of
Civil Procedure and Supreme Court Rules.
(6) The Board or, where applicable, the charging party,
shall not be required to give any undertakings or bond and
shall not be liable for any damages or costs which may have
been sustained by reason of any injunctive relief ordered. In
the case of a TNC's failure to provide an accurate list of
names, mobile phone numbers, email addresses, and mailing
addresses of TNDs, immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or
damage shall be presumed.
(j) In addition to, and without limiting, any other

10400HB4743ham001 - 23 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
procedure provided in this Section, the Board is empowered and
directed to enforce, and prevent violations of paragraph (2)
of subsection (a) of Section 6 as follows.
(1) Upon the failure or refusal of a TNC to timely
submit the list to the Board required by Section 9, the
Board shall promptly issue a complaint charging the TNC
with an unfair work practice and petition a court of
competent jurisdiction for temporary relief to compel
production of the list, consistent with the procedures in
subsection (i), except that the Board shall have a
mandatory, non-discretionary duty to seek such injunctive
relief. In the case of a TNC's failure to provide the list
to the Board required by Section 9, immediate and
irreparable injury, loss, or damage shall be presumed.
(2) In addition to any other remedy provided by this
Act, a TNC found to have committed an unfair work practice
in violation of paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section
6 shall be subject to a civil penalty, payable to the
Board, not to exceed $10,000 per day for each day after the
deadline that the list was not provided. The amount of the
penalty shall be determined by the Board through
application of the following criteria: (i) the size of the
TNC; (ii) the severity of the violation; and (iii) any
history of violations by the TNC. A TNC found to have
committed an unfair work practice in violation of
paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 6 shall also be

10400HB4743ham001 - 24 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
required by the Board to pay the Board's or charging
party's attorney's fees and costs for any court proceeding
initiated by the Board or charging party to compel
production of the list.
Section 8. Determination of active TNDs.
(a) Within 90 days after the effective date of this Act,
and once each calendar quarter thereafter, each covered
transportation network company shall provide the Board, in an
electronic format determined by the Board, with information
that identifies all transportation network drivers who
completed 10 or more rides that originate in the State on the
covered TNC's platform in the previous 6 months.
(b) Each covered TNC shall provide this information within
2 weeks after the end of each calendar quarter (by April 14
provide TND information from rides originating between October
1 and March 31, by July 14 provide TND information from rides
originating between January 1 and June 30, by October 14
provide TND information from rides originating between April 1
and September 30, by January 14 provide TND information from
rides originating between July 1 and December 31).
(c) The information shall include only the name of the
TND, the TND driver's license number, and to the extent known
by a TNC, the TND's mobile phone number, mailing address,
email address, preferred language, and the number of rides the
TND completed through the covered TNC's platform in the

10400HB4743ham001 - 25 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
previous 6 months. A TND organization may use the information
in the list only for the purposes authorized by this Act, and
shall not provide the information to any third party unless
that party is acting as the TND organization's agent for the
purposes authorized by this Act. A covered TNC shall not be
liable for any damages caused by the TND organization's or the
Board's failure to safeguard the list as provided in Section
16 from a data or security breach.
(d) Within 14 days after the deadline for submission of
the information from covered TNCs required in this Section,
the Board shall combine the data provided by all covered TNCs
to determine the distribution of the number of rides completed
by all TNDs for which data has been submitted, and then shall
determine the median number of rides across TNDs for whom data
has been submitted in the previous 6 months. Any TND who
completed greater than or equal to the median number of rides
shall be considered an active transportation network driver in
the rideshare industry. The information required to be
provided to the Board in this Section shall be produced in a
manipulable electronic format, such as a spreadsheet program
consisting of cells organized by lettered columns and numbered
rows with each data point in a separate cell that allows users
to sort and perform calculations and analysis. The Board may
require that the information be provided in a specified
software program. The records and information provided to the
Board by transportation network companies are exempt from

10400HB4743ham001 - 26 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
Section 9. Determination of covered TNCs.
(a) Within 90 days after the effective date of this Act,
and within 2 weeks after the end of each calendar quarter, each
TNC shall electronically submit to the Board a single
statewide total of the rides performed during the prior
quarter by transportation network drivers on its
online-enabled application or platform. For the purposes of
this Section, all digital networks or software application
services that any related corporate entities under common
control maintain shall be considered a single TNC.
(b) The information required by subsection (a) shall be
produced in a manipulable electronic format, such as a
spreadsheet program consisting of cells organized by lettered
columns and numbered rows with each data point in a separate
cell that allows users to sort and perform calculations and
analysis. The Board may require that the information be
provided in a specified software program.
(c) Within 14 days after the deadline set forth in
subsection (a), the Board shall designate the covered TNCs
through the following procedure.
(1) The Board shall total all rides reported pursuant
to subsection (a).
(2) The Board shall then rank all TNCs by rideshare
volume in descending order. The Board shall begin with the

10400HB4743ham001 - 27 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
highest ranked TNC and continue down the list until the
Board has identified the TNCs whose rides collectively
equal or exceed 95% of the statewide total for the
preceding quarter. These TNCs shall be deemed covered TNCs
for the purposes of this Act.
(3) For the purposes of this Section, all TNCs under
common ownership or control shall be considered to be a
single TNC. The Board shall publish the list of covered
TNCs and noncovered TNCs and rideshare volume information
on its website. The Board shall notify each TNC as to
whether the TNC is a covered TNC.
(d) The failure of a TNC to submit the list required by
subsection (a) shall not prevent the Board from providing a
list of covered and noncovered TNCs to the extent the Board
concludes that the missing information cannot reasonably be
expected to change whether those TNCs are covered or
noncovered TNCs.
(e) A TNC that was not a covered TNC when a sectoral
agreement took effect but whose rideshare volume in a later
quarter brings it within the 95% threshold identified in
paragraph (2) of subsection (c) shall become a covered TNC,
and be bound by all terms of the sectoral agreement
immediately.
(f) A TNC that becomes a covered TNC pursuant to this
Section shall remain a covered TNC for the remaining term of a
sectoral agreement.

10400HB4743ham001 - 28 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
(g) When a sectoral agreement is in effect, any TNC that is
not a covered TNC for the purposes of this Section may choose
to become bound to the sectoral agreement by providing written
notice to the Board, the certified exclusive bargaining
representative, and the covered TNCs. A TNC that chooses to
become bound to a sectoral agreement pursuant to this Section
shall be bound for the remaining term of the agreement. Such a
TNC shall not, on account of its exercise of the option
provided by this Section, become a covered TNC for the
purposes of negotiation of subsequent sectoral agreements or
coverage by subsequent sectoral agreements.
(h) It is unlawful for any TNC that is not a covered TNC or
voluntarily bound by the terms of the sectoral agreement as
provided by this Section to make any statement, advertisement,
or imply in any official communication that such TNC is bound
by the terms of the sectoral agreement.
(i) During the time that a noncovered TNC is bound by the
terms of the sectoral agreement pursuant to this Section, the
certified exclusive bargaining representative shall represent
the TNC drivers who drive for the noncovered TNC for the
purposes of this Act. The noncovered TNC shall have the same
obligations as a covered TNC to provide information to the
Board necessary to administer this Act and to provide
information to the exclusive bargaining representative
necessary for representation of the TNC drivers.

10400HB4743ham001 - 29 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
Section 10. Designation of bargaining representatives.
(a) For the purposes of this Act, each TND performing TNC
services on a covered TNC shall be included in an
industry-wide bargaining unit of all TNDs in the State.
(b) A TND organization may demonstrate that it has been
designated as a bargaining representative by presenting to the
Board cards, petitions, or other evidence, which may be in
electronic form, sufficient to show the TND has authorized the
TND organization to act as the worker's bargaining
representative. A TND may demonstrate that TNDs do not wish to
be represented by a TND organization by presenting to the
Board cards, petitions, or other evidence, which may be in
electronic form, sufficient to show the TND does not authorize
any TND organization to act as the worker's exclusive
bargaining representative. The Board shall deem valid any such
card, petition, or other evidence that includes (i) the
signature of the TND, (ii) the date of execution, (iii) a
statement indicating the TND's authorization of the TND
organization to act as the TND's exclusive bargaining
representative or alternatively the TND's wish to not be
represented by a TND organization, and (iv) the name of at
least one TNC for whom the TND performs services. In order to
be valid, such card, petition, or other evidence must have
been executed by the TND within one year of the date that the
TND organization, or TND, submits the evidence to the Board.
The authorizations or designations of representatives may be

10400HB4743ham001 - 30 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
evidenced by electronic records or electronic signatures as
provided under Sections 7 and 8 of the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act. The Board shall accept electronic signatures
as a means to support such authorizations or designations of
representatives where, as with handwritten signatures, the
electronic signature method chosen by the party provides the
Board with prima facie evidence (1) that a TND has
electronically signed a document purporting to state the TND's
views regarding representation and (2) that the petitioner has
accurately transmitted that document to the Board. The
authorizations or designations of representative shall be
presumed to be valid unless called into question by the
presence of objective evidence. The Board may adopt rules for
verification of electronic signatures to effectuate this
Section consistent with the following:
(1) Submissions supported by electronic signature must
contain the following: (i) the signer's name; (ii) the
signer's email address or other known contact information,
such as a social media account; (iii) the signer's
telephone number; (iv) the authorization language to which
the signer has agreed; (v) the date the electronic
signature was submitted; and (vi) the name of at least one
TNC for whom the TND performs services. The Board shall
not require any additional TND identifying information to
be submitted for the signature and authorization to be
presumed valid. If the submission does not identify at

10400HB4743ham001 - 31 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
least one TNC for whom the TND performs services, then at
the time the submission is provided to the Board, the
petitioner may attest, in writing, that the TND currently
provides services for at least one identified TNC.
(2) A party submitting either electronic or digital
signatures must submit a declaration: (i) identifying what
electronic or digital signature technology was used and
explaining how its controls ensure that the electronic or
digital signature is that of the signatory TND and that
the TND signed the document; and (ii) that the
electronically transmitted information regarding what and
when the TNDs signed is the same information seen and
signed by the TND.
(3) When the electronic signature technology being
used does not support digital signatures that can be
independently verified by a third party, the submitting
party must submit evidence that, after the electronic
signature was obtained, the submitting party promptly
transmitted a communication stating and confirming all the
information listed in paragraph (1) (the "Confirmation
Transmission"). The Confirmation Transmission must be sent
to an individual account, such as an email address, text
message via mobile phone, or social media account provided
by the signer. If any responses to the Confirmation
Transmission are received by the time of submission to the
Board, those responses must also be provided to the Board.

10400HB4743ham001 - 32 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
(c) The Board shall not adopt or impose any requirements
for designations or authorizations of representative in
addition to those specified in subsection (b), unless based on
objective evidence of fraud, the Board determines that
additional technical requirements are necessary to prevent
such fraud. Any such additional requirements shall be
consistent with the purpose of subsection (b) and shall not
require additional TND identifying information to be submitted
for the signature and authorization to be presumed valid. A
designation or authorization of representative shall not be
invalidated for typographical or other errors or omissions if
the intent of the signer is clear and the signer's identity can
be determined based on the totality of the information
presented.
(d)(1) Within 30 days after the petition of any TND
organization, the Board shall make a determination that such
organization has been designated as bargaining representative
by at least 10% of active TNDs in the bargaining unit. For the
purposes of this paragraph, the operative list of active TNDs
shall be based on the most recent quarterly list provided by
the covered TNCs to the Board in accordance with Section 8.
(2) Within 30 days after the Board's determination that a
TND organization has been designated as the bargaining
representative of at least 10% of active TNDs in the
bargaining unit, the Board shall: (i) require each covered TNC
to send a notice, in a form determined by the Board, that the

10400HB4743ham001 - 33 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
TND organization is seeking to represent TNDs for the purpose
of initiating a bargaining process in order to establish terms
and conditions for the industry; and (ii) provide the TND
organization with a complete list of names, phone numbers,
mailing address, email addresses, and preferred language for
all active TNDs in the bargaining unit. The TNC shall provide
the notice in all languages that the Board determines are
likely spoken by 5% or more of TNC drivers. The Board will
provide the TND organization with an updated list each quarter
for the following 4 quarters. For 6 months from the date of the
Board's determination that a TND organization has met the 10%
threshold in a bargaining unit, and where such TND
organization is the first TND organization to meet such
threshold, no other TND organization may be certified as the
exclusive bargaining representative of those workers without
an election.
(e)(1) A TND organization that provides evidence to the
Board that it has been designated as bargaining representative
by 30% of active TNDs in the bargaining unit shall be certified
as the exclusive bargaining representative of all TNDs in the
bargaining unit. The Board shall make such determination of
exclusive bargaining representative status within 30 days
after the petition. In the alternative, a TND organization
that has been designated as the bargaining representative of
at least 10% of active TNDs in the bargaining unit, pursuant to
a petition filed under subsections (d) or (e), may petition

10400HB4743ham001 - 34 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
the Board to conduct an election. The TND organization may
petition for such election at any time within one year of the
Board's determination that it has been designated as the
bargaining representative of at least 10% of active TNDs. The
election shall be conducted as expeditiously as possible, but
in no event more than 60 days after the TND organization's
petition for election. If the TND organization receives a
majority of valid votes cast in such election, the Board shall
certify the TND organization as the exclusive bargaining
representative. For the purposes of this paragraph and for
petitions filed by a TND organization within 6 months of
having been designated as a representative by 10% of active
TNDs pursuant to paragraph (2) of subsection (d), the
operative list of active TNDs shall be based on the first list
of active TNDs provided to the TND organization by the Board
pursuant to paragraph (2) of subsection (d). For the purposes
of all other petitions under this paragraph, the operative
list of active TNDs shall be the most recent quarterly list
provided by the covered TNCs in accordance with Section 8.
(2) If a TND organization seeking certification as the
exclusive bargaining representative without an election
provides evidence that shows that less than a majority of
active TNDs have designated the TND organization as their
bargaining representative, the Board shall wait 7 days before
certifying the TND organization as exclusive bargaining
representative. If, during those 7 days, another TND

10400HB4743ham001 - 35 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
organization provides evidence that at least 20% of active
TNDs in the bargaining unit have designated it as their
bargaining representative, then the Board shall hold an
election among all active TNDs in the bargaining unit. Such
election shall be conducted as expeditiously as possible, but
in no event more than 60 days after the petition of the
original TND seeking certification as exclusive bargaining
representative. For the purposes of such election and for
petitions filed by a TND organization within 6 months of
having been designated as representative by 10% of active TNDs
pursuant to paragraph (2) of subsection (d), the operative
list of active TNDs shall be based on the first list of active
TNDs provided to the TND organization by the Board pursuant to
paragraph (2) of subsection (d). For the purposes of all other
elections under this paragraph, the operative list of active
TNDs shall be the most recent quarterly list provided by the
covered TNCs in accordance with Section 8. A TND organization
receiving a majority of the valid votes cast shall be
certified as the exclusive bargaining representative of all
TNDs in the bargaining unit. When 2 or more TND organizations
are on the ballot and none of the choices (the TND
organizations or "no worker organization") receives a majority
of the valid votes cast, there shall be a runoff election
between the 2 choices receiving the largest and second largest
number of votes, to be conducted within 45 days after the
determination that no choice had received a majority of valid

10400HB4743ham001 - 36 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
votes cast. The TNDs eligible to vote in the runoff election
shall be the same TNDs eligible to vote in the initial
election. A TND organization receiving a majority of the valid
votes cast in the runoff election shall be certified as the
exclusive bargaining representative of all TNDs in the
bargaining unit. If a majority of the valid votes cast are for
"no worker organization", then the Board will not certify any
worker organization as the exclusive bargaining
representative.
(3) A TND organization certified as the exclusive
bargaining representative shall have the exclusive authority
to represent the TNDs in the bargaining unit, without
challenge by another TND organization, and not subject to
decertification by the procedures in this subsection, for the
greater of (i) one year following certification or (ii) the
length of time that a final determination rendered by the
Department under subsection (i) of Section 12 is in effect,
provided that such period shall not be longer than 3 years
following the date of issuance of such final determination.
During the times when an exclusive bargaining representative
is subject to challenge, TNDs may file for a decertification
election upon a showing that at least 25% of the active TNDs in
the bargaining unit have demonstrated support for the
decertification. The Board will then schedule an election to
determine whether the TND organization has retained its status
as exclusive bargaining representative. The TND organization

10400HB4743ham001 - 37 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
shall retain its status as exclusive bargaining representative
if it receives a majority of valid votes cast by active TNDs in
the bargaining unit. For the purposes of this paragraph, the
operative list of active TNDs shall be based on the most recent
quarterly list provided by the covered TNCs in accordance with
Section 8.
(4) If a TND organization has been certified as the
exclusive bargaining representative with respect to the
bargaining unit, only that TND organization shall be entitled
to: (i) immediately upon certification, and, quarterly
thereafter, receive from the Board the data provided by the
covered TNCs to the Board pursuant to Section 8, to be used
solely for the purposes of bargaining and the performance of
its other duties as the TND's bargaining representative; and
(ii) to engage in bargaining with the covered TNCs for a
sectoral agreement to be recommended to the Department
concerning mandatory subjects of bargaining.
(5) A TND organization that has been certified as the
exclusive bargaining representative with respect to the
bargaining unit shall have a right to voluntary deduction of
dues, initiation fees, assessments, and other payments to the
TND organization, from payments to TNDs by a covered TNC, upon
presentation of deduction authorizations signed by individual
TNDs, which may be in electronic form. A covered TNC shall
commence making such deductions in accordance with the terms
of the deduction authorization as soon as practicable, but in

10400HB4743ham001 - 38 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
no case later than 30 days after receiving proof of a signed
deduction authorization, and amounts deducted shall be
submitted to the TND organization within 30 days after the
deduction. A covered TNC shall accept a signed deduction
authorization evidenced by electronic records or electronic
signatures as provided under Sections 7 and 8 of the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act. The right to such deductions
shall remain in full force and effect until an individual TND
revokes the deduction authorization in writing in accordance
with the terms of the authorization.
(f) An order of the Board dismissing a representation
petition or determining, certifying, or decertifying a TND
organization as an exclusive bargaining representative is a
final order. Any person aggrieved by any such final order may
apply for and obtain judicial review in accordance with the
provisions of the Administrative Review Law, except that such
review shall be afforded directly in the Appellate Court for
the district in which the aggrieved party resides or transacts
business. Any direct appeal to the Appellate Court shall be
filed within 35 days after the date that a copy of the decision
sought to be reviewed was served upon the party affected by the
decision.
(g) Upon agreement by a TND organization seeking such
determination or petition or a TND seeking such determination,
and the relevant covered TNC or TNCs, any of the numerical
thresholds or any of the elections in this Section shall be

10400HB4743ham001 - 39 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
determined or conducted by a neutral body, in accordance with
the provisions of this Act. The fees of the neutral body shall
be paid by the Board. The neutral body shall report the results
of such determination or election to the Board, which shall
certify the results if it is satisfied that the determination
was made or election was conducted in accordance with the
provisions of this Act. If no neutral body has been agreed to
within 10 days after a TND organization's or TND's notice of
its request for a determination or its petition, the Board may
designate a neutral body or perform such functions itself.
Section 11. Administrative fees.
(a) Beginning on the date that a TND organization is
certified as the exclusive bargaining representative, each
covered TNC shall impose a fee of 20 cents per trip, which the
Board shall collect. The Board shall use such fees to issue
grants to the exclusive bargaining representative to educate
TNDs regarding their rights under this Act, to provide
assistance in enforcing those rights, and to enforce the terms
of an agreement or determination approved by the Department
under this Act.
(b) The fee shall be 20 cents per ride on each trip
originating in the State performed by a TND. Beginning on the
first January 1st after a TND organization has been certified
as an exclusive bargaining representative for at least 12
months, and each January 1st thereafter, the fee shall be

10400HB4743ham001 - 40 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
adjusted to the nearest penny to reflect any increase in
inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All
Urban Consumers published by the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The Board shall calculate and publish the
adjustments required by this subsection.
(c) The fee shall be displayed to customers as a "Labor
Relations Administrative Fee".
(d) The Board shall adopt by rule an exclusive bargaining
representative grant application and criteria for evaluating
such grant applications, including criteria to ensure that the
exclusive bargaining representative has the capacity and
expertise to provide education and enforcement support to
TNDs. If the exclusive bargaining representative meets the
criteria established by the Board, the Board shall approve the
grant application and remit the fees to the exclusive
bargaining representative on a monthly basis, with each
payment occurring no more than 30 days following the end of the
month. The fees shall be used by the TND organization solely to
educate TNDs regarding the rights protected by this Act, to
provide assistance in enforcing those rights, to negotiate the
sectoral agreement as provided in this Act, and to enforce the
terms of any agreement or determination approved by the
Department under this Act. No portion of such fees shall be
used for political contributions or lobbying. If no such grant
is awarded or if the fees collected exceed the grant awarded,
the Board shall use such fees for educational or enforcement

10400HB4743ham001 - 41 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
activities regarding the provisions of this Act.
(e) Each exclusive bargaining representative shall submit
an annual report to the Board in a form to be determined by the
Board setting forth how the fees have been utilized. The Board
shall review each annual report and certify whether the
exclusive bargaining representative is utilizing the fees for
appropriate activities and continues to meet the grant
application criteria. The Board shall adopt rules to establish
a process by which it may suspend or revoke grants based on the
failure to utilize the fees for educational or enforcement
activities or the failure to meet the grant application
criteria. If the Board finds that the exclusive bargaining
representative does not meet the grant application criteria,
the Board may utilize the fees for its own educational and
enforcement activities, and the exclusive bargaining
representative may reapply for a grant in the following year.
Section 12. Bargaining, impasse resolution procedures, and
final determination by the Department.
(a) Once the Board certifies that a TND organization is
the exclusive bargaining representative for the bargaining
unit, the Board shall notify all covered TNCs, and all covered
TNCs shall be required to bargain with the exclusive
bargaining representative concerning mandatory subjects of
bargaining. The covered TNCs and TND organization may bargain
concerning other subjects agreed to by the parties. To

10400HB4743ham001 - 42 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
facilitate negotiations, the covered TNCs may form an industry
association to negotiate on their behalf. If the covered TNCs
choose not to form an association, any recommended agreement
must be approved by (i) at least 2 industry member covered TNCs
and (ii) member covered TNCs representing at least 80% of the
market share of that industry in the State, with votes
determined in proportion to the number of rides completed by
TNDs contracting directly with the covered TNC in the 2
calendar quarters preceding the certification of the exclusive
bargaining representative.
(b) Each individual covered TNC shall retain exclusive
control over the development, maintenance, design, pricing,
and implementation of its product and product features,
software, contract terms, algorithm, and operations and areas
of service.
(c) A sectoral agreement submitted to the Department for
approval pursuant to subsection (i) shall address, at minimum,
the following subjects, each of which must be set forth
separately in the sectoral agreement, unless a subject is
expressly waived by mutual agreement of the exclusive
bargaining representative and the covered TNCs:
(1) Compensation.
(2) Benefits.
(3) Appeals process for deactivations.
(4) Representation of TNC drivers in deactivation
appeals.

10400HB4743ham001 - 43 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
(5) Paid leave.
(6) Information disclosed to TNC drivers about trips
on per-trip, weekly, and monthly earnings receipts and
summaries, and on initial ride offers.
(7) Grievance and arbitration procedures to resolve
disputes arising under the sectoral agreement.
(8) Safety mandates imposed by the covered TNCs that
require TNC drivers to purchase safety equipment or
purchase safety software, and safety features or protocols
proposed by the exclusive bargaining representative that
have a demonstrable purpose of reducing the risk of
physical assault or injury to TNC drivers. For the
purposes of this paragraph, "purchase" includes an
automatic withdrawal from TNC driver earnings.
(9) Labor-TNC partnerships.
(10) Reasonable access by the exclusive bargaining
representative to covered TNC-to-TNC driver communication
systems.
(11) Deduction of voluntary fees and dues from
payments to TNC drivers.
(12) Duration of the sectoral agreement, which shall
be between 3 and 5 years.
(13) Insurance coverage for occupational accidents or
injuries.
(14) Compensation or supplemental insurance for job
loss.

10400HB4743ham001 - 44 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
(d) A sectoral agreement, including an agreement
recommended by an arbitrator pursuant to paragraph (6) of
subsection (h), shall not contain a provision that prevents an
individual covered TNC from exercising its autonomy pursuant
to subsection (b).
(e) The negotiated sectoral agreement shall be submitted
by the TND organization to a vote by all TNDs who have
completed at least 100 trips in the previous calendar quarter.
Such vote shall be conducted by the TND organization pursuant
to procedures determined at the discretion of the TND
organization. If approved by a majority of TNDs who vote, the
sectoral agreement shall be submitted to the Department for
approval. If a majority of valid votes cast by the TNDs are not
in favor of the sectoral agreement, the TND organization and
the covered TNCs will resume negotiating.
(f) For the purposes of this Section, an impasse may be
deemed to exist if the covered TNCs and exclusive bargaining
representative fail to achieve agreement by the end of a
210-day period from the date a TND organization has been
certified as the exclusive bargaining representative. In the
case of bargaining for a successor sectoral agreement, an
impasse may be deemed to exist if the covered TNCs and
exclusive bargaining representative fail to achieve agreement
by the end of a 60-day period preceding the expiration date of
a prior determination by the Department as provided for in
subsection (i).

10400HB4743ham001 - 45 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
(g) Upon impasse, any of the affected covered TNCs or the
exclusive bargaining representative may request the Board to
render assistance as provided in this Section.
(h) Upon receiving a timely request from an exclusive
bargaining representative or covered TNC for commencement of
an impasse proceeding, the Board shall aid the parties as
follows:
(1) To assist the parties to effect a voluntary
resolution of the dispute, the Board shall provide the
parties with a list of qualified mediators as maintained
by the Board within 7 days after the request for
commencement of impasse proceedings. Within 7 days after
receipt of such list, the parties shall either select a
mediator from the Board's list or select another mutually
agreed mediator. If the parties fail to select a mediator
and notify the Board of their selection, within 7 days
after the date the Board provided the list of mediators,
the Board shall appoint a mediator from the list. The
Board shall make such an appointment and notify the
parties within 7 days. If the mediator is unable to
achieve agreement between the parties concerning an
appropriate resolution within 60 days after the Board has
provided the parties the list of mediators, any party may
petition the Board to refer the dispute to an arbitrator.
(2) Upon timely petition of either party, the Board
shall refer the dispute to an arbitrator as provided.

10400HB4743ham001 - 46 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
(3) Each of the affected parties (affected covered
TNCs and the exclusive bargaining representative) shall
have an equal say in the selection of the arbitrator and
each of the affected parties shall share equally the cost
of the arbitrator. If the parties are unable to agree upon
the arbitrator within 7 days after the Board notifies the
covered TNCs of the need to appoint an arbitrator, the
Board shall submit to the parties a list of qualified,
disinterested persons for the selection of an arbitrator.
A representative of each of the parties shall alternately
strike from the list one of the names with the order of
striking determined by lot, until the remaining one person
shall be designated as the arbitrator. Each party shall
select its representative for this purpose as it sees fit.
A party's failure to agree upon the designation of its
representative shall result in the failure of the striking
procedure, but shall not impede the Board's appointment of
the arbitrator upon such failure. The striking process
shall be completed within 5 days after receipt of the
Board's list. The representatives who undertake the
striking shall notify the Board of the designated
arbitrator. If the parties are unable to select the
arbitrator within 5 days following receipt of this list,
the Board shall appoint the arbitrator.
(4) The arbitrator shall hold hearings on all matters
related to the dispute, concerning mandatory subjects of

10400HB4743ham001 - 47 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
bargaining, and any other subject agreed to be submitted
by the covered TNCs and the TND organization. The parties
may be heard either in person, by counsel, or by other
representatives, as they may respectively designate. The
arbitrator shall determine the order of presentation by
the parties, and shall have discretion and authority to
decide all procedural issues that may be raised.
(5) The parties may present, either orally or in
writing, or both, statements of fact, supporting witnesses
and other evidence, and argument of their respective
positions with respect to each case. The arbitrator shall
have authority to require the production of such
additional evidence, either oral or written as they may
desire from the parties and shall provide at the request
of either party that a full and complete record be kept of
any such hearings, the cost of such record to be borne by
the requesting party. If such a record is created, it
shall be shared with all parties regardless of which party
paid for it.
(6) The arbitrator shall make a just and reasonable
determination of the matters in dispute, set forth in
paragraph (4) of subsection (h), and within 90 days after
the arbitrator's appointment shall issue a determination
that shall apply to all covered TNCs and the exclusive
bargaining representative. The time period for the
arbitrator's determination may be extended by the

10400HB4743ham001 - 48 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
arbitrator upon good cause shown, or by agreement by the
parties. In arriving at such determination, the arbitrator
shall specify the basis for the arbitrator's findings,
taking into consideration, in addition to any factors
recommended by the parties that the arbitrator finds to be
consistent with this Act, the following:
(i) whether the compensation, benefits, and
conditions of work of the TNDs achieve the policy
goals set forth in Section 2; such compensation and
benefits must take into account the real cost of
living, and may substantially exceed any statutory
minimum wage, and should be a sufficient amount such
that the TNDs do not need to rely upon any public
benefits;
(ii) whether the most efficient way to provide
benefits is through a portable benefits fund, and if
so, how to best assess each covered TNC a portion of
the costs of providing those benefits;
(iii) the financial ability of the affected
covered TNCs to pay for the compensation and benefits
in question and the impact on the delivery of services
provided by the covered TNCs;
(iv) the establishment of a reasonable
deactivation appeals process that will allow TNDs a
reasonable expectation of uninterrupted work; and
(v) comparison of particularities in regard to

10400HB4743ham001 - 49 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
other trades or professions, including specifically,
hazards of work, physical qualifications, educational
qualifications, mental qualifications, job training,
and skills.
(i) Any sectoral agreement, whether agreed upon between
covered TNCs and a TND organization acting as exclusive
bargaining representative of TNDs in the bargaining unit or as
determined by an arbitrator, under this Act shall be reviewed
and approved or disapproved by the Department. In deciding
whether to grant approval to such sectoral agreement, the
Department's decision shall be based on the factors specified
in paragraph (6) of subsection (h), and the policies set forth
in Section 2. In deciding whether to approve such sectoral
agreement, the Department shall afford the exclusive
representative, all covered TNCs, and TNDs no more than 30
days to submit comments and arguments concerning whether
approval is warranted. Within 60 days after the deadline for
submitting comments, the Department shall approve or
disapprove the sectoral agreement. If the Department
disapproves of the sectoral agreement, the Department may make
recommendations for amendments to the sectoral agreement that
would cause the Department to approve and afford the parties
an opportunity to respond to those recommendations. If, during
the period of time the sectoral agreement is in effect, the
Department determines that market conditions have changed, the
Department shall give the exclusive bargaining representative,

10400HB4743ham001 - 50 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
all covered TNCs, and TNDs the opportunity to submit comments
and arguments concerning whether the final determination
should be modified, and after receiving those comments, the
Department may modify the final determination. Any new terms
for the bargaining unit shall be set in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section.
(j) A final determination by the Department under this
Section is a final order. Any covered TNC or exclusive
bargaining representative aggrieved by any such final order
may apply for and obtain judicial review in accordance with
the provisions of the Administrative Review Law, except that
such review shall be afforded directly in the Appellate Court
for the district in which the aggrieved party resides or
transacts business, and provided that such final orders of the
Department shall only be overturned if found to be an abuse of
discretion. Any direct appeal to the Appellate Court shall be
filed within 35 days after the date that a copy of the decision
sought to be reviewed was served upon the party affected by the
decision. Except in a proceeding brought to review a final
order of the Department, the determination of an arbitrator
under this Section shall not be subject to judicial review.
Section 13. Compliance with other laws.
(a) Notwithstanding any other law, with respect to
transportation network company services performed by
transportation network drivers for a covered TNC, the

Compensation Act, the Workers' Occupational Diseases Act, and
the Unemployment Insurance Act shall be deemed satisfied and
not separately enforceable if the covered TNC is in
substantial compliance with this Act or with any sectoral
bargaining agreement approved pursuant to this Act.
(b) Compliance with this Act or with an approved sectoral
agreement shall not establish or give rise to a presumption of
an employment relationship between a TNC and a TND for any

10400HB4743ham001 - 52 - LRB104 20444 SPS 35366 a
purpose under State or local law.
(c) With respect to transportation network company
services performed by a transportation network driver for a
covered transportation network company, the benefits, earnings
provisions, leave, or standards in an approved sectoral
agreement, if any, shall be enforceable exclusively pursuant
to the terms of the sectoral agreement or the provisions of
this Act.
(d) This Section is inoperative 5 years after the
effective date of this Act, unless prior to that date a
sectoral agreement has been approved by the Department
pursuant to the Act, in which case this Section shall not be
inoperative. If this Section is inoperative, no claims covered
by this Section shall have their statutes of limitations
tolled during the period this Section is operative.
Section 14. Home rule.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
regulation of transportation network driver labor relations is
an exclusive power and function of the State. A unit of local

State. Upon approval of a sectoral agreement pursuant to this
Act, a unit of local government, including a home rule unit,

benefits, or other conditions of work set forth in subsection
(c) of Section 12. This subsection is a denial and limitation
of home rule powers and functions under subsection (h) of
Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
Section 15. Applicability of other labor standards. Other
than as established in this Act, no sectoral agreement,
arbitrator's determination, or final determination by the
Department made pursuant to this Act shall diminish or erode
any minimum labor standard that would otherwise apply to a
TND.
Section 16. Rulemaking.
(a) The Board and the Department shall make such rules as
may be appropriate to effectuate the purposes and provisions
of this Act. In order to provide for the expeditious and timely
implementation of the provisions of this Act, such rules may
be adopted by the Board or the Department as emergency rules

and welfare.
(b) The Board may apply, in its discretion, applicable
rules adopted under the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act to
the extent those procedures are not inconsistent with the
procedures specified in this Act. To effect that purpose, the
Board may, in its discretion, and to the extent doing so is not
inconsistent with the procedures specified in this Act,
interpret rules adopted under the Illinois Public Labor
Relations Act, referencing "employer" to include a
transportation network company, referencing "employee" to
include a transportation network driver, and referencing a
"labor organization" to include a transportation network
driver organization.
(c) The rules shall establish the obligations and
procedures for the Board and TND organizations to protect TND

Constitution, a federal grand jury or trial subpoena, or as
otherwise required by federal law.
