Today the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee passed a Florida Chamber-backed bill that would allow ridesharing companies like Lyft and Uber to continuing growing in Florida.
HB 221, sponsored by Representatives Chris Sprowls (R-Clearwater) and James Grant (R-Tampa), passed 14-1. The bill would establish a consistent and responsible statewide regulatory framework for these innovative technology companies, allowing them to meet increasing consumer demand while ensuring public safety and helping diversify Florida’s economy.
