Summary

Existing law authorizes the legislative body of an incorporated city and a county board of supervisors to license businesses carried on within their respective jurisdictions and to set licensing fees for those businesses. Existing law prohibits a local jurisdiction that requires a driver to obtain a business license to operate as a driver for a transportation network company, as defined, from requiring that driver to obtain more than a single business license regardless of the number of local jurisdictions in which the driver operates, as specified. This bill would prohibit a local jurisdiction that requires a driver, as defined, to obtain a business license to operate as a driver for a delivery network company, as defined, from requiring that driver to obtain more than a single business license, as specified, regardless of the number of local jurisdictions in which the driver operates as a driver for a delivery network company. The bill would require a driver for a delivery network company to obtain a business license in the local jurisdiction in which the driver is domiciled, except as specified. The bill would require each delivery network company to notify its drivers of the obligations set forth in these provisions. The bill would prohibit personally identifiable information, as defined, submitted to a local jurisdiction for purposes of complying with or enforcing these licensing provisions from being disclosed on a publicly accessible Internet Web site. The bill would declare that its provisions do not preclude the sharing of business license data among local jurisdictions and would make a finding that allowing the free operation of drivers for delivery network companies across local jurisdictions is a matter of statewide concern.
