The World Assembly,
Understanding that app-based driving is a growing business,
Knowing that with that comes the need for protections, regulations, and other sorts of legal attention,
Hereby enacts these provisions into law:
1. Definitions
1A: "App-based driving" as a means of transport via an app on a smartphone, to get people to where they need to go,
1B: "App-based driver" as a registered driver with the rideshare company; the person driving the people that use the service,
1C: "Rideshare company" as the company providing the service,
2. Classifies drivers as independent contractors and not employees of the company, unless the company sets hours, wages, gives out benefits such as unemployment, worker's compensation, minimum wage, overtime, sick leave, etc.,
3. Drivers will receive these benefits from member nations as independent contractors:
3A: Vehicle insurance
3B: Healthcare subsidies
3C: Minimum earnings (the standard earnings in each member nation, according to their laws)
4. Restricts certain regulation for the drivers,
5. Criminalizes the impersonation of drivers,
6. Enforces background checks on drivers,
7. Drivers MUST receive safety training (ie: Road safety, sexual harassment protection, etc.) from the company, regardless of if the driver is an independent contractor or an employee,
8. Drivers are not eligible to be a driver for the company if:
8A: They have commited a crime within the last 2 years,
8B: Have a medical condition that prevents them from driving,
8C: Are younger than the legal driving age in a member nation,
8D: Have not received the mandatory safety training,
9. These provisions are to be voided and ignored in nations that:
9A: Do not have automobiles,
9B: Do not allow internet or computer access,
9C: Do not have smartphones (in which case, smartphones would most likely be substituted for the tech of the nation.).
