10400SB2906sam003 LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 2906
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 2906 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 this 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

10400SB2906sam003 - 2 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 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

10400SB2906sam003 - 3 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 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 the
transportation network companies 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

10400SB2906sam003 - 4 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
and non-statutory labor exemptions from the federal antitrust
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

10400SB2906sam003 - 5 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a

the right to confer with TNCs at any time, provided that during
the conference there is no attempt by the TNC, directly or
indirectly, to interfere with, restrain, or coerce the workers
in the exercise of the rights guaranteed by this Act.
Section 6. Unfair work practices.
(a) It is an unfair work practice for a TNC to:

made, and contact information for TNDs, as required by
this Act.
(2) Fail or refuse to submit the list to the Board
required by Section 9.
(3) Fail or refuse to negotiate in good faith with a
TND organization certified as an exclusive bargaining
representative of TNDs engaged with the TNC, concerning
mandatory subjects of bargaining.
(4) Fail or refuse to provide a TND organization,
certified as an exclusive bargaining representative of
TNDs engaged with the TNC, with information requested by
the TND organization that is relevant to, and necessary
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
sectoral agreement approved by the Department under this

10400SB2906sam003 - 12 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a

accordance with a recognized exception under the law.
(6) Dominate or interfere with the formation,
existence, or administration of any TND organization, or
to contribute financial or other support to any such
organization, directly or indirectly, unless required by
this Act, by any rules implementing this Act, or by any
sectoral agreement approved by the Department, including,
but not limited to, the following:
(i) by participating or assisting in, supervising,
or controlling (A) the initiation or creation of any
such organization or (B) 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; and

10400SB2906sam003 - 13 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
provided further that any activity permitted to be
performed or conducted by a TNC with respect to a TND
by paragraphs (1) through (6) of the definition of
"company union" in Section 3 shall not be deemed an
unfair work practice under this paragraph.
(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 the TND's
choosing.
(8) Encourage membership in any company union or
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 the TND has 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 the 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,

10400SB2906sam003 - 14 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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
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

10400SB2906sam003 - 15 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
(a) of this Section.
(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
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 the approval of a sectoral agreement
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

10400SB2906sam003 - 16 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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
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 designated by the Board for the purposes, shall conduct
an investigation of the charge. If, after the 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 the 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 the
other location as the Board deems appropriate, not less than 5
days after service of the complaint. Any such complaint may be

10400SB2906sam003 - 17 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
amended by the member or hearing officer conducting the
hearing for the Board in his or her 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 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
the 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

10400SB2906sam003 - 18 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
required to sustain the 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 the person to cease and desist
from the unfair work practice, and to take the affirmative
action as 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 the TND shall be
reengaged or the relationship reestablished, and the order may
further require the respondent to make reports from time to

10400SB2906sam003 - 19 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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 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 a manner as it
deems proper, may modify or set aside, in whole or in part, any
finding or order made or issued by it.

10400SB2906sam003 - 20 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
(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
judicial review shall be afforded directly in the Appellate
Court for the district in which the aggrieved party resides or
transacts business, and judicial review shall not be available
for the purpose of challenging a final order issued by the
Board under Section 10 for which judicial review has been
petitioned in accordance with 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 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 under 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

10400SB2906sam003 - 21 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 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 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 the 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

10400SB2906sam003 - 22 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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 60 days after the receipt by the Board of the
petition for injunctive relief, if the Board determines that a
charging party has made a sufficient showing in accordance
with 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 the alleged unfair work practice
resides or transacts business, for appropriate temporary
relief or restraining order. The Board shall be represented in
the action by the Attorney General in accordance with the
Attorney General Act. If the Board fails to act within 60 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,
through the Attorney General, does not petition the circuit
court for injunctive relief within 60 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

10400SB2906sam003 - 23 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
party.
(3) Upon the filing of any petition for injunctive relief
as provided in the preceding paragraph, the 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 the injunctive relief
under the Code of Civil Procedure. Any injunctive relief in
effect pending a decision by the Board (i) shall expire upon 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 under
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 under this

10400SB2906sam003 - 24 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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
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, through the Attorney
General, 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, nondiscretionary
duty to seek injunctive relief. The Board shall be
represented in the action by the Attorney General in
accordance with the Attorney General Act. In the case of a
TNC's failure to provide the list to the Board required by

10400SB2906sam003 - 25 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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
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

10400SB2906sam003 - 26 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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
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

10400SB2906sam003 - 27 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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 Board shall make publicly
available both the total number of active transportation
network drivers in the rideshare industry and the median
number of rides used to make that determination. 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 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

10400SB2906sam003 - 28 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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 under
subsection (a).
(2) The Board shall then rank all TNCs by rideshare
volume in descending order. The Board shall begin with the
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

10400SB2906sam003 - 29 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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 in accordance with
this Section shall remain a covered TNC for the remaining term
of a sectoral agreement.
(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 under this Section shall
be bound for the remaining term of the agreement. The TNC shall
not, on account of its exercise of the option provided by this

10400SB2906sam003 - 30 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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 the 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 under 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.
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 the bargaining
unit.
(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

10400SB2906sam003 - 31 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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. No card,
petition, or other evidence of designation of bargaining
representative shall be deemed valid for the purposes of this
Section unless it was executed on or after the effective date
of this Act. In order to be valid, the 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 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 the
authorizations or designations of representatives where, as

10400SB2906sam003 - 32 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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
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

10400SB2906sam003 - 33 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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.
(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 the

10400SB2906sam003 - 34 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
fraud. Any 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 the 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
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

10400SB2906sam003 - 35 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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.
(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 subsection (d) or (e), may petition 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
Board shall publicly announce the petition for election and
require each covered TNC to provide notice, in a form
determined by the Board, to all active TNDs of the petition for
election. 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. Any other TND
organization that provides evidence to the Board that it has

10400SB2906sam003 - 36 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
been designated as the bargaining representative of at least
10% of active TNDs in the bargaining unit may, within 30 days
after the Board's public announcement of the original petition
for election, intervene and participate in the election. 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 under 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 under 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 the exclusive bargaining
representative. If, during those 7 days, another TND
organization provides evidence to the Board 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

10400SB2906sam003 - 37 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
in no event more than 60 days after the petition of the
original TND seeking certification as the 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
under 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 under 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.
(2.5) For purposes of any election conducted under
paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection, if the TND
organization receives a majority of valid votes cast in the
election, the Board shall certify the TND organization as the
exclusive bargaining representative. 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 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

10400SB2906sam003 - 38 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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 shall 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 sectoral agreement approved by the
Department under subsection (i) of Section 12 is in effect,
provided that the period shall not be longer than 3 years
following the date of the Department's approval of the
sectoral agreement. 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 the exclusive
bargaining representative. The TND organization shall retain
its status as the exclusive bargaining representative if it
receives a majority of valid votes cast by active TNDs in the

10400SB2906sam003 - 39 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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 under 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
no case later than 30 days after receiving proof of a signed
deduction authorization, and amounts deducted shall be

10400SB2906sam003 - 40 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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
determined or conducted by a neutral body, in accordance with
the provisions of this Act. The fees of the neutral body shall

10400SB2906sam003 - 41 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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. Rideshare Workers Support Fund.
(a) Beginning 90 days after the effective date of this
Act, each covered TNC shall be required to pay a fee equal to 4
cents for each trip originating within this State to the
Secretary of State to be deposited into the Rideshare Workers
Support Fund. Beginning 30 days after the certification of an
exclusive bargaining representative under Section 10, the fee
set forth in this subsection shall be increased to an amount
equal to 20 cents for each trip originating within this State.
Beginning on January 1, 2028, and each January 1 thereafter,
the fee set forth in this subsection shall be adjusted to the
nearest penny for each trip originating in this State 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 Secretary of State
shall calculate and publish the adjusted fee required by this
subsection.

10400SB2906sam003 - 42 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
(1) Within 14 days after the start of each month, each
covered TNC shall pay to the Secretary of State the fee
required under subsection (a) for the previous month and
transmit to the Secretary of State a certified report
identifying the number of trips originating within this
State in the previous month. The covered TNCs shall pay
the fee and transmit the certified report to the Secretary
of State by electronic means as directed by the Secretary
of State.
(2) The Secretary of State shall create the Rideshare
Workers Support Fund and deposit the fees collected under
this Section into the fund.
(b) Subject to appropriation, the Secretary of State shall
use the funds in the Rideshare Workers Support Fund as
provided in this subsection. The Secretary of State shall use
the funds collected in each calendar quarter within 60 days
after the close of each quarter as follows:
(1) The amount equivalent to 3 cents for each trip
originating in this State shall be used by the Secretary
of State for the purposes of administering its functions
under this Act.
(2) The amount equivalent to 1 cent for each trip
originating in this State shall be paid to the Board for
the purposes of administering its functions under this
Act.
(3) Effective upon the increase in the fee following

representative under Section 10, and subject to paragraphs
(1) and (2) of subsection (b), the amount equivalent to 16
cents for each trip originating in this State shall be
paid as a grant to the exclusive bargaining
representative, subject to the conditions and restrictions
set forth in subsection (c). If, for a given period, there
is no certified exclusive bargaining representative or the
Secretary of State has determined to suspend or terminate
disbursements to the exclusive bargaining representative
as provided in subsection (c), the funds that would
otherwise have been paid to the exclusive bargaining
representative for that period shall be used by the Board
for the purposes of administering its functions under this
Act and for other educational and enforcement purposes
consistent with this Act.
The amounts set forth in this subsection shall be
recalculated proportionally to any increase in the fee under
subsection (a).
(c) The purpose of the grant to the exclusive bargaining
representative provided under paragraph (3) of subsection (b)
shall be to ensure that TNDs are educated about their rights
under this Act and have the resources, through their exclusive
bargaining representative, to enforce their rights under this
Act and under any approved sectoral agreement under this Act.
The exclusive bargaining representative may use the funds

10400SB2906sam003 - 44 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
granted under this Section exclusively for the purposes of
educating TNDs regarding their rights under this Act,
providing assistance in enforcing those rights, negotiating a
sectoral agreement, and enforcing the terms of a sectoral
agreement approved by the Department under this Act. The
exclusive bargaining representative shall not use any portion

that the exclusive bargaining representative complies with the
use of funds restrictions set forth in subsection (c). The
Secretary of State may use the Secretary of State Police
Department to conduct the audits. If necessary, the Secretary
of State shall certify to the Attorney General, for such

10400SB2906sam003 - 46 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
action as the Attorney General may deem appropriate, when the
responses to the subpoenas, interrogatories, and audits
disclose a violation of any of the provisions of this Section.

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

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

exclusive bargaining representative fail to achieve agreement
by the end of the period of negotiations preceding the
expiration date of the prior approved sectoral agreement.
(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

10400SB2906sam003 - 52 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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. Each of the affected parties (affected
covered TNCs and the exclusive bargaining representative)
shall have an equal say in the selection of the mediator
and each of the affected parties shall share equally the
cost of the mediator. If the parties fail to select a
mediator and notify the Board of their selection within 7
days after the date the Board provides 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.
(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

10400SB2906sam003 - 53 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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
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 the parties may respectively
designate. The arbitrator shall determine the order of
presentation by the parties, and shall have discretion and

10400SB2906sam003 - 54 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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 additional
evidence, either oral or written as the arbitrator 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), 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 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

10400SB2906sam003 - 55 - LRB104 18506 SPS 38281 a
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

other trades or professions, including specifically,

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 subsection (c) and in
paragraph (6) of subsection (h), and the policies set forth in
Section 2. Within 60 days after submission of the recommended
sectoral agreement, the Department shall approve or disapprove
the sectoral agreement. Upon approval by the Department, the
terms of the sectoral agreement shall be effective and
enforceable through the provisions of the sectoral agreement
and this Act. 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 the sectoral agreement. Any new terms
for the bargaining unit shall be set in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section.
(j) The exclusive bargaining representative and the
covered TNCs may mutually agree to recommend changes to an
approved sectoral agreement. Such recommended changes to an
approved sectoral agreement must be submitted to the
Department for approval or disapproval under subsection (i).
