Bill overview
This bill, titled the Understanding Basic English Requirements Act, aims to establish English proficiency as a mandatory requirement for drivers working with transportation network companies (like Uber and Lyft) who provide services in the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. It requires drivers to be able to communicate effectively, understand traffic signs, and complete reports, with a specific exception for drivers who use American Sign Language. Companies must certify that their drivers meet these requirements, and those found non-compliant could be barred from receiving federal contracts for five years.
