HCR 120: REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION TO DEVELOP A FRAMEWORK TO REGULATE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK COMPANIES UNDER THE MOTOR CARRIER LAW.

This bill asks Hawaii's Department of Transportation and Public Utilities Commission to create a plan for regulating ride-sharing companies under the state's existing Motor Carrier Law. The legislation targets transportation network companies like Uber and Lyft, which currently operate without the same oversight as traditional passenger carriers. The agencies must develop a regulatory framework and submit their findings and recommendations to the Legislature by early 2027. This request aims to ensure consistent safety standards and fair treatment between ride-sharing services and other motor carriers.
