Wrongful deactivation of high-volume for-hire vehicle drivers.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the wrongful deactivation of high-volume for-hire vehicle drivers

This bill would prohibit high-volume for-hire vehicle services from deactivating high-volume for-hire vehicle drivers, unless due to just cause or a bona fide economic reason. For one year after the effective date of the law, high-volume for-hire vehicle drivers deactivated in the prior 6 years would be able to petition the high-volume for-hire service for reactivation and the high-volume for-hire service would be required to reactivate them unless the prior deactivation was for just cause or a bone fide economic reason.
