transportation services employees; drivers; wages

SB 1184 establishes minimum wage and benefit standards for drivers working for ride-hailing (e.g., Uber, Lyft) and delivery (e.g., DoorDash) companies in Arizona. It requires these drivers to be paid the greater of: $1.00 per mile, $0.47 per minute, $5.62 per trip, or 80% of customer cancellation fees. The bill also mandates annual 3% cost-of-living adjustments, $600 quarterly health cost reimbursements (for drivers working 32+ hours/week), and 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 32 hours worked. This directly affects transportation network and delivery company drivers, setting concrete pay and benefit requirements rather than relying on existing minimum wage laws.
