LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
A BILL FOR
		HB4743		LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
    AN ACT concerning regulation.
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
    Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
Transportation Network Driver Labor Relations Act.
    Section 2. Findings; legislative intent; construction.
    (a) The General Assembly finds that the growing rate of
technological advancement has fundamentally altered the way
that many people work within the State in the transportation
sector, in which companies connect, through an online
application, persons seeking passenger transportation services
to persons willing to supply those transportation services.
These persons willing to supply those transportation services,
known as transportation network drivers, often suffer poor
pay, inadequate health coverage, and lack of other benefits.
It is hereby declared that the best interests of the people of
this State are served by providing transportation network
drivers the opportunity to self-organize, designate
representatives of their own choosing, and to bargain
collectively on a sectoral basis in order to obtain
sustainable wages, benefits, and working conditions, subject
to approval and ongoing supervision by the State. It is
further declared that the best interests of the people of this
		HB4743	- 2 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
State are served by the prevention or prompt resolution of
disputes between transportation network companies and the
transportation network drivers who supply the labor to
effectuate those services through collective bargaining on a
sectoral basis, subject to approval and ongoing supervision by
the State. This Act shall be deemed an exercise of the police
power of the State for the protection of the public welfare,
prosperity, health, and peace of the people of the State, and
shall be liberally construed for the accomplishment of its
purposes.
    (b) The General Assembly finds that it is in the public
policy interests of the State to displace competition with
regulation of the terms and conditions of work for
transportation network drivers; and, consistent with this
policy, to exempt from federal and State antitrust laws any
conduct authorized under this Act, including the formation of
transportation network driver organizations and multi-company
associations for the purposes of collective bargaining on a
sectoral basis between transportation network companies and
transportation network drivers on an industry-wide basis, and
to supervise, evaluate, and if approved, implement the
resulting sectoral agreements concerning industry regulations
for the terms and conditions of work for all transportation
network drivers in an industry when such sectoral agreements
are found by the Department of Labor to advance the public
purposes stated in this Section and are then made binding,
		HB4743	- 3 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
regardless of the anticompetitive consequences thereof.
    (c) It is the intent and policy of the State:
        (1) To grant transportation network drivers the right
    to form, join, or assist transportation network driver
    organizations, to be represented through representatives
    of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted
    activities for the purpose of bargaining with
    transportation network companies and to create negotiated
    recommendations in the form of a sectoral agreement, which
    shall form the basis for industry regulations, and for the
    purpose of other mutual aid or protection; and
        (2) To grant transportation network companies the
    right to form multi-company associations to represent them
    while bargaining with a transportation network driver
    organization to create negotiated recommendations in the
    form of a sectoral agreement, which shall form the basis
    for industry regulations.
    (d) The intent and policy of the State is for the statutory
and non-statutory labor exemptions from the federal antitrust
laws and analogous State laws to apply to transportation
network drivers who choose to form, join, or assist labor
organizations in labor activity, to transportation network
driver organizations who organize and represent such drivers,
and to transportation network companies who may choose to form
an industry association to negotiate on their behalf or
otherwise engage in labor activity, permitted by this Act.
		HB4743	- 4 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
    (e) The intent and policy of the State in authorizing and
regulating transportation network companies, transportation
network drivers engaging in labor activity, and transportation
network driver organizations, permitted by this Act, is that
state action immunity apply to this Act, including the
sectoral agreement approved by the Department of Labor, and
that such transportation network companies, transportation
network drivers, and transportation network driver
organizations be immune from the federal and State antitrust
laws to the fullest extent possible in their conduct pursuant
to this Act.
    (f) The State shall actively supervise the qualified labor
activity permitted by this Act conducted by transportation
network companies, transportation network drivers, and
transportation network driver organizations pursuant to this
Act to ensure that the conduct permitted by this Act protects
the rights of workers and companies, encourages collective
bargaining on a sectoral basis and labor peace, and otherwise
advances the purposes of this Act.
    Section 3. Definitions. As used in this Act:
    "Active transportation network driver" and "active TND"
means a transportation network driver designated pursuant to
the following process: Within 90 days after the effective date
of this Act, and once each calendar quarter thereafter, each
covered transportation network company shall provide the
		HB4743	- 5 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
Board, in an electronic format determined by the Board, with
information that identifies all transportation network drivers
who completed 5 or more rides that originate in the State on
the covered TNC's platform in the previous 6 months. Each
covered TNC shall provide this information within 2 weeks
after the end of each calendar quarter (by April 14 provide TND
information from rides originating between October 1 and March
31, by July 14 provide TND information from rides originating
between January 1 and June 30, by October 14 provide TND
information from rides originating between April 1 and
September 30, by January 14 provide TND information from rides
originating between July 1 and December 31). The information
shall include only the name of the TND, the TND driver's
license number, and to the extent known by a TNC, the TND's
mobile phone number, mailing address, email address, and the
number of rides the TND completed through the covered TNC's
platform in the previous 6 months. Within 14 days after the
deadline for submission of the information from covered TNCs
required in this definition, the Board shall combine the data
provided by all covered TNCs to determine the distribution of
the number of rides completed by all TNDs for which data has
been submitted, and then shall determine the median number of
rides across TNDs for whom data has been submitted in the
previous 6 months. Any TND who completed greater than or equal
to the median number of rides shall be considered an active
transportation network driver in the rideshare industry. The
		HB4743	- 6 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
information required to be provided to the Board in this
definition shall be produced in a manipulable electronic
format, such as a spreadsheet program consisting of cells
organized by lettered columns and numbered rows with each data
point in a separate cell that allows users to sort and perform
calculations and analysis. The Board may require that the
information be provided in a specified software program. The
records and information provided to the Board by
transportation network companies are exempt from disclosure
under the Freedom of Information Act.
    "Board" means the State Panel of the Illinois Labor
Relations Board created by Section 5 of the Illinois Public
Labor Relations Act.
    "Company union" means any committee, driver representation
plan, or association of workers or others that exists for the
purpose, in whole or in part, of dealing with TNCs concerning
grievances or terms and conditions of work for TNDs: (i) which
a TNC has initiated or created or whose initiation or creation
it has suggested or participated in; (ii) which a TNC
participates in, supervises, or conducts the formulation of
governing rules or policies, management, operations, or
elections; or (iii) which the TNC maintains, finances,
controls, dominates, or assists in maintaining or financing
unless required to do so by this Act, its implementing rules,
or any other legal requirement, whether by compensating anyone
for services performed in its behalf or by donating free
		HB4743	- 7 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
services, equipment, materials, office or meeting space, or
anything else of value, or by any other means.
    A TNC driver organization shall not be deemed a company
union solely because any of the following are true:
        (1) It has negotiated or been granted the right to
    designate TNC drivers to be released with pay for the
    purpose of providing representational services in
    labor-management affairs on behalf of TNC drivers
    represented by the TNC driver organization.
        (2) In the course of providing representational
    services to workers for whom it is the exclusive
    bargaining representative, a TNC has allowed agents of the
    TNC driver organization to meet with drivers at the TNC's
    premises or communicate with TNDs via the TNC's platform.
        (3) It has received from a TNC the voluntary
    membership dues deductions of TNC drivers or the TNC has
    processed or transmitted membership dues pursuant to
    paragraph (5) of subsection (d) of Section 8.
        (4) It has received funds from a TNC for the
    administration of benefits and services to TNC drivers
    pursuant to a sectoral agreement in its capacity as the
    exclusive bargaining representative.
        (5) It has negotiated with a TNC, before or after
    certification as the exclusive bargaining representative,
    for the right and requisite resources to communicate or
    meet with TNDs for any purpose permitted under this Act,
		HB4743	- 8 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
    including via the TNC's platform.
    "Covered transportation network company" and "covered TNC"
means a transportation network company so designated pursuant
to the following process:
        (1) In addition to the TND lists and information
    required by the definition of "active transportation
    network driver", within 90 days after the effective date
    of this Act, within 2 weeks after the end of each calendar
    quarter, each TNC shall electronically submit to the Board
    a single statewide total of the rides performed during the
    prior quarter by transportation network drivers on its
    online-enabled application or platform. For purposes of
    this definition, all digital networks or software
    application services that any related corporate entities
    under common control maintain shall be considered a single
    TNC.
        (2) The information required by paragraph (1) of this
    definition shall be produced in a manipulable electronic
    format, such as a spreadsheet program consisting of cells
    organized by lettered columns and numbered rows with each
    data point in a separate cell that allows users to sort and
    perform calculations and analysis. The Board may require
    that the information be provided in a specified software
    program.
        (3) Within 14 days after the deadline set forth in
    paragraph (1) of this definition, the Board shall
		HB4743	- 9 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
    designate the covered TNCs through the following
    procedure. The Board shall total all rides reported
    pursuant to paragraph (1) of this definition. The Board
    shall then rank all TNCs by rideshare volume in descending
    order. The Board shall begin with the highest ranked TNC
    and continue down the list until the Board has identified
    the TNCs whose rides collectively equal or exceed 95% of
    the statewide total for the preceding quarter. These TNCs
    shall be deemed "covered TNCs" for purposes of this Act.
    For purposes of this paragraph, all TNCs under common
    ownership or control shall be considered to be a single
    TNC. The Board shall then publish the list of covered TNCs
    and noncovered TNCs and rideshare volume information on
    its internet website. The Board shall notify each TNC as
    to whether the TNC is a covered TNC.
        (4) The failure of a TNC to submit the list required by
    paragraph (1) of this definition shall not prevent the
    Board from providing a list of covered and noncovered TNCs
    to the extent the Board concludes that the missing
    information cannot reasonably be expected to change
    whether those TNCs are covered or noncovered TNCs.
        (5) A TNC that was not a covered TNC when a sectoral
    agreement took effect but whose rideshare volume in a
    later quarter brings it within the 95% threshold
    identified in paragraph (3) of this definition shall
    become a covered TNC, and therefore bound by all terms of
		HB4743	- 10 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
    the sectoral agreement immediately.
        (6) A TNC that becomes a covered TNC pursuant to this
    Section shall remain a covered TNC for the remaining term
    of a sectoral agreement.
    "Department" means the Department of Labor.
    "Exclusive bargaining representative" means a TND
organization certified by the Board, in accordance with this
Act, as the representative of TNDs in a bargaining unit.
    "Mandatory subjects of bargaining" means those subjects of
bargaining related to compensation, benefits, and other terms
and conditions of work, including, but not limited to,
deactivations, and dispute resolution procedures for resolving
claims alleging unjust deactivation.

organizations, TNCs, network companies, labor organizations,
associations, corporations, legal representatives, trustees,
trustees in bankruptcy, or receivers.
    "Transportation network company" and "TNC" means an entity
operating in the State that uses a digital network or software
application service to connect passengers to transportation
network company services provided by transportation network
drivers. For purposes of this paragraph, all digital networks
or software application services that any related corporate
entities under common control maintain shall be considered a
single TNC. A TNC is not deemed to own, control, operate, or
manage the vehicles used by transportation network drivers,
		HB4743	- 11 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
and is not a taxicab association or a for-hire vehicle owner.
    "Transportation network company services" and "TNC
services" means transportation of a passenger between points
chosen by the passenger and prearranged with a transportation
network driver through the use of a TNC digital network or
software application. "Transportation network company
services" and "TNC services" do not include a taxicab,
for-hire vehicle, or street hail service.
    "Transportation network driver", "transportation network
company driver", "TNC driver", and "TND" means an individual
who operates a motor vehicle that: (i) is owned, leased, or
otherwise authorized for use by the individual; (ii) is not a
taxicab or for-hire public passenger vehicle; (iii) is used to
provide transportation network company services; and (iv)
operates under the TNC license of the TNC. "Transportation
network driver", "transportation network company driver", "TNC
driver", and "TND" do not include any individual who, with

a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to be an
employee within the meaning of Section 2(3) of the National
Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. 152(3), or within the meaning
of 26 CFR 31.3121(d)-1 or 31.3401(c)-1; or (ii) declared by a
TNC to be an employee within the meaning of Section 2(3) of the
National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. 152(3) and within the
meaning of 26 CFR 31.3121(d)-1 or 31.3401(c)-1.

organization" means any organization in which TNDs
participate, and which exists and is constituted for the
purpose, in whole or in part, of collective bargaining, or of

by this Act.
    "Unfair work practices" means only those unfair work
practices set forth in Section 6.
    Section 4. Powers of the Board. The Board shall have

Act.
    Section 5. Rights of TNDs. Transportation network drivers
shall have the right of self-organization, to form, join, or
assist TND organizations, to bargain collectively through
representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in
concerted activities, for the purpose of collective bargaining
or other mutual aid or protection, free from interference,
restraint, or coercion by TNCs, and shall also have the right
to refrain from any of these activities. Nothing contained in
this Act shall be interpreted to prohibit TNDs from exercising
		HB4743	- 13 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
the right to confer with TNCs at any time, provided that during
such conference there is no attempt by such TNC, directly or
indirectly, to interfere with, restrain, or coerce such
workers in the exercise of the rights guaranteed by this Act.
    Section 6. Unfair work practices.
    (a) It is an unfair work practice for a TNC to:

    new determination is approved or prescribed, unless in
    accordance with a recognized exception under the law.
        (6) Dominate or interfere with the formation,
    existence, or administration of any TND organization, or
    to contribute financial or other support to any such
    organization, directly or indirectly, unless required by

    but not limited to, the following:
            (i) by participating or assisting in, supervising,
        or controlling (1) the initiation or creation of any
        such organization or (2) the meetings, management,
        operation, elections, formulation or amendment of
        constitution, rules, or policies, of any such
        organization;

        such organization; or
            (iii) by donating free services, equipment,
        materials, office or meeting space or anything else of
        value for the use of any such organization; provided
        that a TNC may permit TNDs to perform representational
        work protected under this Act during working hours
        without loss of time or pay or allow agents of a TND
        organization that is the exclusive representative of
        its TNDs to meet with TNDs on its premises or
        communicate with TNDs via the TNC's platform.
		HB4743	- 15 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
        (7) Require a TND to join any company union or TND
    organization or to require a TND to refrain from forming,
    or joining or assisting a TND organization of their own
    choosing.
        (8) Encourage membership in any company union or
    discourage membership in any TND organization, by
    discrimination in regard to any term or condition of work.
        (9) Deactivate or otherwise discriminate against a TND
    because they have signed or filed any charge, affidavit,
    petition, or complaint or given any information or
    testimony under this Act.
        (10) Distribute or circulate any blacklist of
    individuals exercising any right created or confirmed by
    this Act or of members of a TND organization, or to inform
    any person of the exercise by any individual of such right

    organization for the purpose of preventing individuals so
    blacklisted or so named from obtaining or retaining
    opportunities for remuneration.
        (11) Perform any acts, other than those already
    enumerated in this Section, which interfere with,
    restrain, or coerce TNDs in the exercise of the rights
    guaranteed by this Act.
    (b) It is an unfair work practice for a TND organization
to:
        (1) Fail or refuse to negotiate in good faith with a
		HB4743	- 16 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
    TNC concerning mandatory subjects of bargaining, provided
    that the TND organization is the certified exclusive
    bargaining representative of the TNC's transportation
    network drivers, including by refusing to provide
    information requested by a TNC that is relevant and
    necessary for purposes of bargaining and the performance
    of its other duties required by this Act.
        (2) Restrain or coerce TNDs in the exercise of the
    rights guaranteed by this Act, provided that this
    paragraph shall not impair the right of a TND organization
    to prescribe its own rules with respect to the acquisition
    or retention of membership in the organization.
        (3) Fail or refuse to fulfill its duty of fair
    representation by intentional misconduct in representing
    TNDs where it is the certified exclusive bargaining
    representative.

transportation network companies or their agents or
representatives and the exclusive bargaining representative to
		HB4743	- 17 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
meet at reasonable times and negotiate in good faith with
respect to mandatory subjects of bargaining, or the
negotiation of a sectoral agreement under Section 10, or any
question arising thereunder, and to execute a written contract
incorporating any agreement reached if requested by either
party. However, this mutual obligation does not compel the
transportation network companies or the exclusive bargaining
representative to agree to a proposal or require the making of
a concession.
    Section 7. Prevention of unfair work practices.
    (a) The Board is empowered and directed to prevent any TNC
and any TND organization from engaging in any unfair work
practice described in this Act. This power shall not be
affected or impaired by any means of adjustment, mediation, or
conciliation in labor disputes that have been or may hereafter
be established by law or by the determination provided for in
subsection (i) of Section 10. In order to prevent unfair work
practices, each TNC shall, at least once each year, send a text
message and an email to each of its active TNDs in a form
determined by the Board notifying the TNDs of their rights
under this Act, and the procedure for filing an unfair work
practice charge. The TNC shall provide the notice in all
languages that the Board determines are likely spoken by 5% or
more of TNC drivers. The Board shall also post a copy of this
notice on its website.
		HB4743	- 18 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
    (b) Unfair work practice charges shall be filed no later
than 6 months after the date on which the charging party knew,
or reasonably should have known, of the violation.
    (c) Whenever it is charged that any person has engaged in,
or is engaging in, any unfair work practice, the Board, or any
agent or agency designated by the Board for such purposes,
shall conduct an investigation of the charge. If after such
investigation the Board finds that the charge involves a
dispositive issue of law or fact, the Board shall issue a
complaint and cause to be served upon the person a complaint
stating the charges, accompanied by a notice of hearing before
the Board or a member thereof designated by the Board, or
before a qualified hearing officer designated by the Board at
the offices of the Board or such other location as the Board
deems appropriate, not less than 5 days after serving of such
complaint. Any such complaint may be amended by the member or
hearing officer conducting the hearing for the Board in their
discretion at any time prior to the issuance of an order based
thereon. The person who is the subject of the complaint has the
right to file an answer to the original or amended complaint
and to appear in person or by a representative and give
testimony at the place and time fixed in the complaint. In the
discretion of the member or hearing officer conducting the
hearing or the Board, any other person may be allowed to
intervene in the proceeding and to present testimony. In any
hearing conducted by the Board, neither the Board nor the
		HB4743	- 19 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
member or agent conducting the hearing shall be bound by the
rules of evidence applicable to courts, except as to the rules
of privilege recognized by law.
    (d) The Board shall have the power to issue subpoenas and
administer oaths. If any party willfully fails or neglects to
appear or testify or to produce books, papers, and records
pursuant to the issuance of a subpoena by the Board, the Board
may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to request that
such party be ordered to appear before the Board to testify or
produce the requested evidence.
    (e) Any testimony taken by the Board, or a member
designated by the Board or a hearing officer thereof, must be
reduced to writing and filed with the Board. A full and
complete record shall be kept of all proceedings before the
Board, and all proceedings shall be transcribed by a reporter
appointed by the Board. The party on whom the burden of proof
rests shall be required to sustain such burden by a
preponderance of the evidence, and the charging party shall
have the burden of proving the unfair work practice
accordingly. If, upon a preponderance of the evidence taken,
the Board is of the opinion that any person named in the charge
has engaged in or is engaging in an unfair work practice, then
it shall state its findings of fact and shall issue and cause
to be served upon the person an order requiring them to cease
and desist from the unfair work practice, and to take such
affirmative action as will effectuate the provisions of this
		HB4743	- 20 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
Act including, but not limited to: (i) withdrawal of
recognition from and refraining from bargaining sectorally
with any organization or association, agency, or plan that is
either defined in this Act as a company union or established,
maintained, or assisted by any action defined in this Act as an
unfair work practice; (ii) awarding of back compensation
without any reduction based on the TND's interim earnings or
failure to earn interim earnings and, upon a showing of
egregious misconduct, an additional amount as liquidated
damages equal to 2 times the amount of back compensation
awarded; (iii) requiring reengagement or reestablishment of
the TNC's preexisting relationship with an improperly
adversely affected TND with or without compensation, or
maintenance of a preferential list from which such TND shall
be reengaged or the relationship reestablished, and such order
may further require such respondent to make reports from time
to time showing the extent to which the order has been complied
with; (iv) requiring the TNC to recognize and bargain with a
TND organization if the Board determines that the unfair work
practice interfered with the TND's right to form or join a TND
organization; and (v) requiring the respondent to comply with
any other obligation of this Act. The Board's order may in its
discretion also include an appropriate sanction, based on the
Board's rules, and the sanction may include an order to pay the
other party or parties' reasonable expenses including costs
and reasonable attorney's fees, if the other party has made
		HB4743	- 21 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
allegations or denials without reasonable cause and found to
be untrue or has engaged in frivolous litigation for the
purpose of delay or needless increase in the cost of
litigation. If the Board awards back compensation, damages, or
monetary sanction, it shall also award interest at the rate of
7% per annum. The Board's order may further require the person
to make reports from time to time, and demonstrate the extent
to which the person has complied with the order. If there is no
preponderance of evidence to indicate to the Board that the
person named in the charge has engaged in or is engaging in the
unfair work practice, then the Board shall state its findings
of fact and shall issue an order dismissing the complaint.
    (f) Until the record in a case has been filed in court, the
Board at any time, upon reasonable notice and in such manner as
it deems proper, may modify or set aside, in whole or in part,
any finding or order made or issued by it.
    (g) A charging party or any person aggrieved by a final
order of the Board granting or denying in whole or in part the
relief sought may apply for and obtain judicial review of an
order of the Board entered under this Act, in accordance with
the provisions of the Administrative Review Law, except that
such judicial review shall be afforded directly in the
Appellate Court for the district in which the aggrieved party
resides or transacts business, and such judicial review shall
not be available for the purpose of challenging a final order
issued by the Board pursuant to Section 8 for which judicial
		HB4743	- 22 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
review has been petitioned pursuant to subsection (e) of
Section 8. Any direct appeal to the Appellate Court shall be
filed within 35 days after the date that a copy of the decision
sought to be reviewed was served upon the party affected by the
decision. The filing of such an appeal to the Appellate Court
shall not automatically stay the enforcement of the Board's
order. An aggrieved party may apply to the Appellate Court for
a stay of the enforcement of the Board's order after the
aggrieved party has followed the procedure prescribed by
Supreme Court Rule 335. The Board in proceedings under this
Section shall request and may obtain an order of the court for
the enforcement of the Board's order.
    (h) Whenever it appears that any person has violated a
final order of the Board issued pursuant to this Section, the
Board must commence an action in the name of the People of the
State of Illinois by petition, alleging the violation,
attaching a copy of the order of the Board, and praying for the
issuance of an order directing the person, the person's
officers, agents, servants, successors, and assigns to comply
with the order of the Board. The Board shall be represented in
this action by the Attorney General in accordance with the
Attorney General Act. The court may grant or refuse, in whole
or in part, the relief sought, provided that the court may stay
an order of the Board in accordance with the Administrative
Review Law, pending disposition of the proceedings. The court
may punish a violation of its order as in civil contempt. The
		HB4743	- 23 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
proceedings provided in this paragraph shall be commenced in
the Appellate Court for the district where the unfair work
practice which is the subject of the Board's order was
committed, or where a person required to cease and desist by
such order resides or transacts business. In case of the
enforcement of an order of the Board, the Appellate Court
shall have the power to issue any injunctive or equitable
remedy it finds appropriate, and in the case of a Board order
which requires the payment of money, the Appellate Court shall
have the power to enter judgment for the amount justified by
the record and for costs, which judgment may be enforced as
other judgments for the recovery of money.
    (i)(1) A party filing an unfair work practice charge under
this Section may petition the Board to obtain injunctive
relief, pending a decision on the merits of the charge by the
Board, a member thereof designated by the Board, or by a
hearing officer designated by the Board, upon a showing that:
(i) it is likely to succeed on the merits; (ii) it is likely to
suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief;
(iii) the balance of equities tips in their favor; and (iv) an
injunction is in the public interest. The immediate and
irreparable harm may include the chilling of TNDs in the
exercise of rights provided or protected by this Act.
    (2) Within 30 days after the receipt by the Board of such
petition for injunctive relief, if the Board determines that a
charging party has made a sufficient showing pursuant to
		HB4743	- 24 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
paragraph (1) the Board, through the Attorney General, shall
petition the circuit court where the alleged unfair work
practice was allegedly committed, or where a person required
to cease and desist from such alleged unfair work practice
resides or transacts business, for appropriate temporary
relief or restraining order. If the Board fails to act within
10 days, the Board shall be deemed to have made a final order
determining not to seek injunctive relief. If the Board
determines not to seek injunctive relief, or if the Board or
Attorney General do not petition the circuit court for such
injunctive relief within 30 days after the filing of the
charging party's petition with the Board, the charging party
may seek injunctive relief by petition to the circuit court,
in which case the Board must be joined as a necessary party.
    (3) Upon the filing of any petition for injunctive relief
as provided in the preceding paragraph, such injunctive relief
may be granted by the court, after hearing all parties, if it
determines that there is a sufficient showing under paragraph
(1). The relief shall expire on decision by the Board, a member
thereof designated by the Board, or a hearing officer
designated by the Board finding no unfair work practice to
have occurred, successful appeal of the grant of injunctive
relief, or successful motion to vacate or modify such
injunctive relief pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure. Any
injunctive relief in effect pending a decision by the Board
(i) shall expire upon a decision by the Board finding no unfair
		HB4743	- 25 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
work practice to have occurred, of which the Board shall
notify the court immediately, or (ii) shall remain in effect
only to the extent it implements any remedial order issued by
the Board in its decision, of which the Board shall notify the
court immediately.
    (4) A decision on the merits of the unfair work practice
charge by the Board finding an unfair work practice to have
occurred shall continue the injunctive relief until either (i)
the respondent implements the remedy, or (ii) the Board's
order is set aside in an action for review of the Board's order
pursuant to the Administrative Review Law as set forth in
subsection (g).
    (5) The appeal of any order granting, denying, modifying,
or vacating injunctive relief ordered by the court pursuant to
this subsection shall be made in accordance with the Code of
Civil Procedure and Supreme Court Rules.
    (6) The Board or, where applicable, the charging party,
shall not be required to give any undertakings or bond and
shall not be liable for any damages or costs which may have
been sustained by reason of any injunctive relief ordered. In
the case of a TNC's failure to provide an accurate list of
names, mobile phone numbers, email addresses, and mailing
addresses of TNDs, immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or
damage shall be presumed.
    (j) In addition to, and without limiting, any other
procedure provided in this Section, the Board is empowered and
		HB4743	- 26 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
directed to enforce, and prevent violations of paragraph (2)
of subsection (a) of Section 6 as follows.
        (1) Upon the failure or refusal of a TNC to timely
    submit the list to the Board required by the definition of
    "covered transportation network company", the Board shall
    promptly issue a complaint charging the TNC with an unfair
    work practice and petition a court of competent
    jurisdiction for temporary relief to compel production of
    the list, consistent with the procedures in subsection
    (i), except that the Board shall have a mandatory,
    non-discretionary duty to seek such injunctive relief. In
    the case of a TNC's failure to provide the list to the
    Board required by the definition of "covered
    transportation network company", immediate and irreparable
    injury, loss, or damage shall be presumed.
        (2) In addition to any other remedy provided by this
    Act, a TNC found to have committed an unfair work practice
    in violation of paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section
    6 shall be subject to a civil penalty, payable to the
    Board, not to exceed $10,000 per day for each day after the
    deadline that the list was not provided. The amount of the
    penalty shall be determined by the Board through
    application of the following criteria: (i) the size of the
    TNC; (ii) the severity of the violation; and (iii) any
    history of violations by the TNC. A TNC found to have
    committed an unfair work practice in violation of
		HB4743	- 27 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
    paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 6 shall also be
    required by the Board to pay the Board's or charging
    party's attorney's fees and costs for any court proceeding
    initiated by the Board or charging party to compel
    production of the list.
    Section 8. Designation of bargaining representatives.
    (a) For purposes of this Act, each TND performing TNC
services on a covered TNC shall be included in an
industry-wide bargaining unit of all TNDs in the State.
    (b) A TND organization may demonstrate that it has been
designated as a bargaining representative by presenting to the
Board cards, petitions, or other evidence, which may be in
electronic form, sufficient to show the TND has authorized the
TND organization to act as the worker's bargaining
representative. A TND may demonstrate that TNDs do not wish to
be represented by a TND organization by presenting to the
Board cards, petitions, or other evidence, which may be in
electronic form, sufficient to show the TND does not authorize
any TND organization to act as the worker's exclusive
bargaining representative. The Board shall deem valid any such
card, petition, or other evidence that includes (i) the
signature of the TND, (ii) the date of execution, (iii) a
statement indicating the TND's authorization of the TND
organization to act as the TND's exclusive bargaining
representative or alternatively the TND's wish to not be
		HB4743	- 28 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
represented by a TND organization, and (iv) the name of at
least one TNC for whom the TND performs services. In order to
be valid, such card, petition, or other evidence must have
been executed by the TND within one year of the date that the
TND organization, or TND, submits the evidence to the Board.
The authorizations or designations of representative may be
evidenced by electronic records or electronic signatures as
provided under Section 7 of the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act. The Board shall adopt rules for verification
of electronic signatures that are comparable to the standards
set forth in Section III of the National Labor Relations Board
Office of the General Counsel Memo 15-08.
    (c)(1) Within 30 days after the petition of any TND
organization, the Board shall make a determination that such
organization has been designated as bargaining representative
by at least 10% of active TNDs in the bargaining unit. For
purposes of this provision, the operative list of active TNDs
shall be based on the most recent quarterly list provided by
the covered TNCs to the Board in accordance with the
definition of "active transportation network driver".
    (2) Within 30 days after the Board's determination that a
TND organization has been designated as the bargaining
representative of at least 10% of active TNDs in the
bargaining unit, the Board shall: (i) require each covered TNC
to send a notice, in a form determined by the Board, that the
TND organization is seeking to represent TNDs for the purpose
		HB4743	- 29 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
of initiating a bargaining process in order to establish terms
and conditions for the industry; and (ii) provide the TND
organization with a complete list of names, phone numbers,
mailing address, and email addresses for all active TNDs in
the bargaining unit. The TNC shall provide the notice in all
languages that the Board determines are likely spoken by 5% or
more of TNC drivers. The Board will provide the TND
organization with an updated list each quarter for the
following 4 quarters. For 6 months from the date of the Board's
determination that a TND organization has met the 10%
threshold in a bargaining unit, and where such TND
organization is the first TND organization to meet such
threshold, no other TND organization may be certified as the
exclusive bargaining representative of those workers without
an election.
    (d)(1) A TND organization that provides evidence to the
Board that it has been designated as bargaining representative
by 30% of active TNDs in the bargaining unit shall be certified
as the exclusive bargaining representative of all TNDs in the
bargaining unit. The Board shall make such determination of
exclusive bargaining representative status within 30 days
after the petition. In the alternative, a TND organization
that has been designated as the bargaining representative of
at least 10% of active TNDs in the bargaining unit, pursuant to
a petition filed under subsections (c) or (d), may petition
the Board to conduct an election. The TND may petition for such
		HB4743	- 30 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
election at any time within one year of the Board's
determination that it has been designated as the bargaining
representative of at least 10% of active TNDs. The election
shall be conducted as expeditiously as possible, but in no
event more than 60 days after the TND organization's petition
for election. If the TND organization receives a majority of
valid votes cast in such election, the Board shall certify the
TND organization as the exclusive bargaining representative.
For purposes of this provision, the operative list of active
TNDs shall be based on the most recent quarterly list provided
by the covered TNCs in accordance with the definition of
"active transportation network driver".
    (2) If a TND organization seeking certification as the
exclusive bargaining representative without an election
provides evidence that shows that less than a majority of
active TNDs have designated the TND organization as their
bargaining representative, the Board shall wait 7 days before
certifying the TND organization as exclusive bargaining
representative. If, during those 7 days, another TND
organization provides evidence that at least 20% of active
TNDs in the bargaining unit have designated it as their
bargaining representative, then the Board shall hold an
election among all active TNDs in the bargaining unit. Such
election shall be conducted as expeditiously as possible, but
in no event more than 60 days after the petition of the
original TND seeking certification as exclusive bargaining
		HB4743	- 31 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
representative. For purposes of such an election, the
operative list of active TNDs shall be based on the most recent
quarterly list provided by the covered TNCs in accordance with
the definition of "active transportation network driver". A
TND organization receiving a majority of the valid votes cast
shall be certified as the exclusive bargaining representative
of all TNDs in the bargaining unit. When 2 or more TND
organizations are on the ballot and none of the choices (the
TND organizations or "no worker organization") receives a
majority of the valid votes cast, there shall be a run-off
election between the 2 choices receiving the largest and
second largest number of votes, to be conducted within 45 days
after the determination that no choice had received a majority
of valid votes cast. The TNDs eligible to vote in the run-off
election shall be the same TNDs eligible to vote in the initial
election. A TND organization receiving a majority of the valid
votes cast in the run-off election shall be certified as the
exclusive bargaining representative of all TNDs in the
bargaining unit. If a majority of the valid votes cast are for
"no worker organization", then the Board will not certify any
worker organization as the exclusive bargaining
representative.
    (3) A TND organization certified as the exclusive
bargaining representative shall have the exclusive authority
to represent the TNDs in the bargaining unit, without
challenge by another TND organization, and not subject to
		HB4743	- 32 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
decertification by the procedures in this subsection, for the
greater of (i) one year following certification, or (ii) the
length of time that a final determination rendered by the
Department under subsection (i) of Section 10 is in effect,
provided that such period shall not be longer than 3 years
following the date of issuance of such final determination.
During the times when an exclusive bargaining representative
is subject to challenge, TNDs may file for a decertification
election upon a showing that at least 25% of the active TNDs in
the bargaining unit have demonstrated support for the
decertification. The Board will then schedule an election to
determine whether the TND organization has retained its status
as exclusive bargaining representative. The TND organization
shall retain its status as exclusive bargaining representative
if it receives a majority of valid votes cast by active TNDs in
the bargaining unit. For purposes of this provision, the
operative list of active TNDs shall be based on the most recent
quarterly list provided by the covered TNCs in accordance with
the definition of "active transportation network driver".
    (4) If a TND organization has been certified as the
exclusive bargaining representative with respect to the
bargaining unit, only that TND organization shall be entitled
to: (i) immediately upon certification, and, quarterly
thereafter, receive from the Board the data provided by the
covered TNCs to the Board pursuant to the definition of
"active transportation network driver", to be used solely for
		HB4743	- 33 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
the purposes of bargaining and the performance of its other
duties as the TNDs bargaining representative; and (ii) to
engage in bargaining with the covered TNCs for a sectoral
agreement to be recommended to the Department concerning
mandatory subjects of bargaining.
    (5) A TND organization that has been certified as the
exclusive bargaining representative with respect to the
bargaining unit shall have a right to voluntary deduction of
dues, initiation fees, assessments, and other payments to the
TND organization, from payments to TNDs by a covered TNC, upon
presentation of deduction authorizations signed by individual
TNDs, which may be in electronic form. A covered TNC shall
commence making such deductions in accordance with the terms
of the deduction authorization as soon as practicable, but in
no case later than 30 days after receiving proof of a signed
deduction authorization, and amounts deducted shall be
submitted to the TND organization within 30 days after the
deduction. A covered TNC shall accept a signed deduction
authorization evidenced by electronic records or electronic
signatures as provided under Section 7 of the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act. The right to such deductions
shall remain in full force and effect until an individual TND
revokes the deduction authorization in writing in accordance
with the terms of the authorization.
    (e) An order of the Board dismissing a representation
petition or determining, certifying, or decertifying a TND
		HB4743	- 34 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
organization as an exclusive bargaining representative is a
final order. Any person aggrieved by any such final order may
apply for and obtain judicial review in accordance with the
provisions of the Administrative Review Law, except that such
review shall be afforded directly in the Appellate Court for
the district in which the aggrieved party resides or transacts
business. Any direct appeal to the Appellate Court shall be
filed within 35 days after the date that a copy of the decision
sought to be reviewed was served upon the party affected by the
decision.
    (f) Upon agreement by a TND organization seeking such
determination or petition or a TND seeking such determination,
and the relevant covered TNC or TNCs, any of the numerical
thresholds or any of the elections in this Section shall be
determined or conducted by a neutral body, in accordance with
the provisions of this Act. The fees of the neutral body shall
be paid by the Board. The neutral body shall report the results
of such determination or election to the Board, which shall
certify the results so long as it is satisfied that the
determination was made or election was conducted in accordance
with the provisions of this Act. If no neutral body has been
agreed to within 10 days after a TND organization's or TND's
notice of its request for a determination or its petition, the
Board may designate a neutral body or perform such functions
itself.
		HB4743	- 35 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
    Section 9. Administrative fees.
    (a) Beginning on the date that a TND organization is
certified as the exclusive bargaining representative, each
covered TNC shall impose a fee of 20 cents per trip, which the
Board shall collect. The Board shall use such fees to issue
grants to the exclusive bargaining representative to educate
TNDs regarding their rights under this Act, to provide
assistance in enforcing those rights, and to enforce the terms
of an agreement or determination approved by the Department
under this Act.
    (b) The fee shall be 20 cents per ride on each trip
originating in the State performed by a TND. Beginning on the
first January 1st after a TND organization has been certified
as an exclusive bargaining representative for at least 12
months, and each January 1st thereafter, the fee shall be
adjusted to the nearest penny to reflect any increase in
inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All
Urban Consumers published by the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The Board shall calculate and publish the
adjustments required by this subsection.
    (c) The fee shall be displayed to customers as a "Labor
Relations Administrative Fee".
    (d) The Board shall adopt by rule an exclusive bargaining
representative grant application and criteria for evaluating
such grant applications, including criteria to ensure that the
exclusive bargaining representative has the capacity and
		HB4743	- 36 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
expertise to provide education and enforcement support to
TNDs. If the exclusive bargaining representative meets the
criteria established by the Board, the Board shall approve the
grant application and remit the fees to the exclusive
bargaining representative on a monthly basis, with each
payment occurring no more than 30 days following the end of the
month. The fees shall be used by the TND organization solely to
educate TNDs regarding the rights protected by this Act, to
provide assistance in enforcing those rights, to negotiate the
sectoral agreement as provided in this Act, and to enforce the
terms of any agreement or determination approved by the
Department under this Act. No portion of such fees shall be
used for political contributions or lobbying. If no such grant
is awarded or if the fees collected exceed the grant awarded,
the Board shall use such fees for educational or enforcement
activities regarding the provisions of this Act.
    (e) Each exclusive bargaining representative shall submit
an annual report to the Board in a form to be determined by the
Board setting forth how the fees have been utilized. The Board
shall review each annual report and certify whether the
exclusive bargaining representative is utilizing the fees for
appropriate activities and continues to meet the grant
application criteria. The Board shall adopt rules to establish
a process by which it may suspend or revoke grants based on the
failure to utilize the fees for educational or enforcement
activities or the failure to meet the grant application
		HB4743	- 37 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
criteria. If the Board finds that the exclusive bargaining
representative does not meet the grant application criteria,
the Board may utilize the fees for its own educational and
enforcement activities, and the exclusive bargaining
representative may reapply for a grant in the following year.
    Section 10. Bargaining, impasse resolution procedures, and
final determination by the Department.
    (a) Once the Board certifies that a TND organization is
the exclusive bargaining representative for the bargaining
unit, the Board shall notify all covered TNCs, and all covered
TNCs shall be required to bargain with the exclusive
bargaining representative concerning mandatory subjects of
bargaining. The covered TNCs and TND organization may bargain
concerning other subjects agreed to by the parties. To
facilitate negotiations, the covered TNCs may form an industry
association to negotiate on their behalf. If the covered TNCs
choose not to form an association, any recommended agreement
must be approved by (i) at least 2 industry member covered TNCs
and (ii) member covered TNCs representing at least 80% of the
market share of that industry in the State, with votes
determined in proportion to the number of rides completed by
TNDs contracting directly with the covered TNC in the 2
calendar quarters preceding the certification of the exclusive
bargaining representative.
    (b) Each individual covered TNC shall retain exclusive
		HB4743	- 38 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
control over the development, maintenance, design, pricing,
and implementation of its product and product features,
software, contract terms, algorithm, and operations and areas
of service.
    (c) A sectoral agreement submitted to the Department for
approval pursuant to subsection (i) shall address, at minimum,
the following subjects, each of which must be set forth
separately in the sectoral agreement, unless a subject is
expressly waived by mutual agreement of the exclusive
bargaining representative and the covered TNCs:
        (1) Compensation.
        (2) Benefits.
        (3) Appeals process for deactivations.
        (4) Representation of TNC drivers in deactivation
    appeals.
        (5) Paid leave.
        (6) Information disclosed to TNC drivers about trips
    on per-trip, weekly, and monthly earnings receipts and
    summaries, and on initial ride offers.
        (7) Grievance and arbitration procedures to resolve
    disputes arising under the sectoral agreement.
        (8) Safety mandates imposed by the covered TNCs that
    require TNC drivers to purchase safety equipment or
    purchase safety software, and safety features or protocols
    proposed by the exclusive bargaining representative that
    have a demonstrable purpose of reducing the risk of
		HB4743	- 39 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
    physical assault or injury to TNC drivers. For the
    purposes of this paragraph, "purchase" includes an
    automatic withdrawal from TNC driver earnings.
        (9) Labor-TNC partnerships.
        (10) Reasonable access by the exclusive bargaining
    representative to covered TNC-to-TNC driver communication
    systems.
        (11) Deduction of voluntary fees and dues from
    payments to TNC drivers.
        (12) Duration of the sectoral agreement, which shall
    be between 3 and 5 years.
        (13) Insurance coverage for occupational accidents or
    injuries.
        (14) Compensation or supplemental insurance for job
    loss.
    (d) A sectoral agreement, including an agreement
recommended by an arbitrator pursuant to paragraph (6) of
subsection (h), shall not contain a provision that prevents an
individual covered TNC from exercising its autonomy pursuant
to subsection (b).
    (e) The negotiated sectoral agreement shall be submitted
by the TND organization to a vote by all TNDs who have
completed at least 100 trips in the previous calendar quarter.
Such vote shall be conducted by the TND organization pursuant
to procedures determined at the discretion of the TND
organization. If approved by a majority of TNDs who vote, the
		HB4743	- 40 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
sectoral agreement shall be submitted to the Department for
approval. If a majority of valid votes cast by the TNDs are not
in favor of the sectoral agreement, the TND organization and
the covered TNCs will resume negotiating.
    (f) For purposes of this Section, an impasse may be deemed
to exist if the covered TNCs and exclusive bargaining
representative fail to achieve agreement by the end of a
210-day period from the date a TND organization has been
certified as the exclusive bargaining representative. In the
case of bargaining for a successor sectoral agreement, an
impasse may be deemed to exist if the covered TNCs and
exclusive bargaining representative fail to achieve agreement
by the end of a 60-day period preceding the expiration date of
a prior determination by the Department as provided for in
subsection (i).
    (g) Upon impasse, any of the affected covered TNCs or the
exclusive bargaining representative may request the Board to
render assistance as provided in this Section.
    (h) Upon receiving a timely request from an exclusive
bargaining representative or covered TNC for commencement of
an impasse proceeding, the Board shall aid the parties as
follows:
        (1) To assist the parties to effect a voluntary
    resolution of the dispute, the Board shall provide the
    parties with a list of qualified mediators as maintained
    by the Board within 7 days after the request for
		HB4743	- 41 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
    commencement of impasse proceedings. Within 7 days after
    receipt of such list, the parties shall either select a
    mediator from the Board's list or select another mutually
    agreed mediator. If the parties fail to select a mediator
    and notify the Board of their selection, within 7 days
    after the date the Board provided the list of mediators,
    the Board shall appoint a mediator from the list. The
    Board shall make such an appointment and notify the
    parties within 7 days. If the mediator is unable to
    achieve agreement between the parties concerning an
    appropriate resolution within 60 days after the Board has
    provided the parties the list of mediators, any party may
    petition the Board to refer the dispute to an arbitrator.
        (2) Upon timely petition of either party, the Board
    shall refer the dispute to an arbitrator as provided.
        (3) Each of the affected parties (affected covered
    TNCs and the exclusive bargaining representative) shall
    have an equal say in the selection of the arbitrator and
    each of the affected parties shall share equally the cost
    of the arbitrator. If the parties are unable to agree upon
    the arbitrator within 7 days after the Board notifies the
    covered TNCs of the need to appoint an arbitrator, the
    Board shall submit to the parties a list of qualified,
    disinterested persons for the selection of an arbitrator.
    A representative of each of the parties shall alternately
    strike from the list one of the names with the order of
		HB4743	- 42 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
    striking determined by lot, until the remaining one person
    shall be designated as the arbitrator. Each party shall
    select its representative for this purpose as it sees fit.
    A party's failure to agree upon the designation of its
    representative shall result in the failure of the striking
    procedure, but shall not impede the Board's appointment of
    the arbitrator upon such failure. The striking process
    shall be completed within 5 days after receipt of the
    Board's list. The representatives who undertake the
    striking shall notify the Board of the designated
    arbitrator. If the parties are unable to select the
    arbitrator within 5 days following receipt of this list,
    the Board shall appoint the arbitrator.
        (4) The arbitrator shall hold hearings on all matters
    related to the dispute, concerning mandatory subjects of
    bargaining, and any other subject agreed to be submitted
    by the covered TNCs and the TND organization. The parties
    may be heard either in person, by counsel, or by other
    representatives, as they may respectively designate. The
    arbitrator shall determine the order of presentation by
    the parties, and shall have discretion and authority to
    decide all procedural issues that may be raised.
        (5) The parties may present, either orally or in
    writing, or both, statements of fact, supporting witnesses
    and other evidence, and argument of their respective
    positions with respect to each case. The arbitrator shall
		HB4743	- 43 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
    have authority to require the production of such
    additional evidence, either oral or written as they may
    desire from the parties and shall provide at the request
    of either party that a full and complete record be kept of
    any such hearings, the cost of such record to be borne by
    the requesting party. If such a record is created, it
    shall be shared with all parties regardless of which party
    paid for it.
        (6) The arbitrator shall make a just and reasonable
    determination of the matters in dispute, set forth in
    paragraph (4) of subsection (h), and within 90 days after
    the arbitrator's appointment shall issue a determination
    that shall apply to all covered TNCs and the exclusive
    bargaining representative. The time period for the
    arbitrator's determination may be extended by the
    arbitrator upon good cause shown, or by agreement by the
    parties. In arriving at such determination, the arbitrator
    shall specify the basis for their findings, taking into
    consideration, in addition to any factors recommended by
    the parties that the arbitrator finds to be consistent
    with this Act, the following:
            (i) whether the compensation, benefits, and
        conditions of work of the TNDs achieve the policy
        goals set forth in Section 2; such compensation and
        benefits must take into account the real cost of
        living, and may substantially exceed any statutory
		HB4743	- 44 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
        minimum wage, and should be a sufficient amount such
        that the TNDs do not need to rely upon any public
        benefits;
            (ii) whether the most efficient way to provide
        benefits is through a portable benefits fund, and if
        so, how to best assess each covered TNC a portion of
        the costs of providing those benefits;
            (iii) the financial ability of the affected
        covered TNCs to pay for the compensation and benefits
        in question and the impact on the delivery of services
        provided by the covered TNCs;
            (iv) the establishment of a reasonable
        deactivation appeals process that will allow TNDs a
        reasonable expectation of uninterrupted work; and
            (v) comparison of particularities in regard to
        other trades or professions, including specifically,
        hazards of work, physical qualifications, educational
        qualifications, mental qualifications, job training,
        and skills.
    (i) Any sectoral agreement, whether agreed upon between
covered TNCs and a TND organization acting as exclusive
bargaining representative of TNDs in the bargaining unit or as
determined by an arbitrator, under this Act shall be reviewed
and approved or disapproved by the Department. In deciding
whether to grant approval to such sectoral agreement, the
Department's decision shall be based on the factors specified
		HB4743	- 45 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
in paragraph (6) of subsection (h), and the policies set forth
in Section 2. In deciding whether to approve such sectoral
agreement, the Department shall afford the exclusive
representative, all covered TNCs, and TNDs no more than 30
days to submit comments and arguments concerning whether
approval is warranted. Within 60 days after the deadline for
submitting comments, the Department shall approve or
disapprove the sectoral agreement. In the event of
disapproval, the Department may make recommendations for
amendments to the sectoral agreement that would cause the
Department to approve and afford the parties an opportunity to
respond to those recommendations. If during the period of time
the sectoral agreement is in effect, the Department determines
that market conditions have changed, the Department shall give
the exclusive bargaining representative, all covered TNCs, and
TNDs the opportunity to submit comments and arguments
concerning whether the final determination should be modified,
and after receiving those comments, the Department may modify
the final determination. Any new terms for the bargaining unit
shall be set in accordance with the procedures set forth in
this Section.
    (j) A final determination by the Department under this
Section is a final order. Any covered TNC or exclusive
bargaining representative aggrieved by any such final order
may apply for and obtain judicial review in accordance with
the provisions of the Administrative Review Law, except that
		HB4743	- 46 -	LRB104 20444 SPS 33909 b
such review shall be afforded directly in the Appellate Court
for the district in which the aggrieved party resides or
transacts business, and provided that such final orders of the
Department shall only be overturned if found to be an abuse of
discretion. Any direct appeal to the Appellate Court shall be
filed within 35 days after the date that a copy of the decision
sought to be reviewed was served upon the party affected by the
decision. Except in a proceeding brought to review a final
order of the Department, the determination of an arbitrator
under this Section shall not be subject to judicial review.
    Section 11. Applicability of other labor standards. No
sectoral agreement, arbitrator's determination, or final
determination by the Department made pursuant to this Act
shall diminish or erode any minimum labor standard that would
otherwise apply to a TND.
    Section 12. Rulemaking.
    (a) The Board and the Department shall make such rules as

of this Act. In order to provide for the expeditious and timely
implementation of the provisions of this Act, such rules may

procedures specified in this Act. To effect that purpose, the
Board may, in its discretion, and to the extent doing so is not
inconsistent with the procedures specified in this Act,
interpret rules adopted under the Illinois Public Labor
Relations Act, referencing "employer" to include a
transportation network company, referencing "employee" to
include a transportation network driver, and referencing a
"labor organization" to include a transportation network
driver organization.
    (c) The rules shall establish the obligations and
procedures for the Board and TND organizations to protect TND
data from public disclosure and unauthorized use, including:
(i) minimization of data collected to what is necessary under
this Act; (ii) encryption standards adhering to recognized
security protocols; (iii) access controls to ensure that only
authorized persons can view or process driver data; (iv) data
retention policy; (v) auditing and compliance monitoring; (vi)
data breach protocol; (vii) driver notification of data
sharing; (viii) driver consent and driver opt-out of data
sharing; and (ix) limitations on data use; (x) limiting the
disclosure of driver personal identifying information to the

the purpose of enforcing federal immigration law or providing
it to an agency that primarily enforces immigration law,
unless the Board is provided with a lawful court order or
judicial warrant signed by a judge appointed pursuant to
Article III of the United States Constitution, a federal grand
jury or trial subpoena, or as otherwise required by federal
law.
    Section 13. Public records. Any record furnished to the
Board, Department, or other state agency by a TNC pursuant to
this Act including, but not limited to, TND records, shall not
be considered a public record as defined in subsection (c) of
Section 2 of the Freedom of Information Act. Such records are
confidential and shall not be disclosed by the Board or any
persons who may be authorized by the Board to process them
solely for the purposes of this Act.
    Section 900. The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act is

Transportation Network Driver Labor Relations Act may be 
adopted in accordance with Section 5-45 by the Illinois Labor

    Section 995. No acceleration or delay. Where this Act
makes changes in a statute that is represented in this Act by
text that is not yet or no longer in effect (for example, a

changes made by this Act or (ii) provisions derived from any

"transportation network driver" is held to be preempted by the
National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. 141 et seq., by a court
of competent jurisdiction and such determination is not
reversed after exhaustion of all appeals, no provision of this
Act shall be deemed valid or given force of law.
