HB 429 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Criminal Offenses - As introduced, designates a person impersonating a transportation network company driver or falsely representing that the person is responding to a passenger ride request for a transportation network company as a Class E felony when the conduct occurs during the commission of a separate felony offense, or as a Class C misdemeanor when the conduct does not occur during the commission of a felony offense. - Amends TCA Title 7, Chapter 51; Title 39 and Title 65, Chapter 15.

HB 429 makes it illegal to impersonate a ride-hailing driver (like Uber or Lyft) or falsely claim to be responding to a passenger request. If committed during another felony (e.g., robbery), it becomes a Class E felony; otherwise, it’s a Class C misdemeanor. The bill targets individuals pretending to be part of transportation network companies, aiming to protect passengers and companies from fraud. The bill was introduced in 2025 but withdrawn before becoming law.
