NE1: Shared Economy Liberation Act (On Governor's Desk)

[sentinel]

While I like the great Dallasfan, I don't think we should be listing corporations in laws. This is written as if it is clearly catered to corporate interests and not the people.

Proposed amendment:

I'm open to further amendments but I'm not sure of an encompassing term that can cover other apps/institutions like AirBnB.

This is much better, definitely an improvement. Why are we un-restricting AirBnB? Where was the restrictment to begin with?

New York City.

Can we phrase the proposed bill in a way that doesn't use corporate names like AirBnB? You did it for the rest.

Hmm.  I'm not quite sure of the necessity for this. Certainly we don't want to create a system with no regulation or oversight. While sirnick's amendment dresses that somewhat, I don't think it creates the kind of regulation and safety system that should be in place with these issues

I actually had the same concern. I think the phrasing "all laws" is a bit broad  still

We have laws against price gouging already.

Also, comparing Atlasia to India is absurd in this context, but at the same time, they should be held to the same standars that we hold taxi companies to.

I'm not trying to ban Uber or services like it, that's not my intention through this, but I think it's nessecary to regulate this developing industry. That's the extent of my concerns.

what regulations are necessary?

It's a different take on an industry that already exists -- private rides and chauffeurs. The only difference is instead of scheduling the ride via phone, you request it via an app.

so when I give my friend a ride, what regulations are necessary?

Do you want your friend to smoke in the car?
