820 ILCS 14/8: Determination of active TNDs.

(a) Within 90 days after the effective date of this Act, and once each calendar quarter thereafter, each covered transportation network company shall provide the Board, in an electronic format determined by the Board, with information that identifies all transportation network drivers who completed 10 or more rides that originate in the State on the covered TNC's platform in the previous 6 months.

(b) 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).

(c) 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, preferred language, and the number of rides the TND completed through the covered TNC's platform in the previous 6 months. A TND organization may use the information in the list only for the purposes authorized by this Act, and shall not provide the information to any third party unless that party is acting as the TND organization's agent for the purposes authorized by this Act. A covered TNC shall not be liable for any damages caused by the TND organization's or the Board's failure to safeguard the list as provided in Section 16 from a data or security breach.

(d) Within 14 days after the deadline for submission of the information from covered TNCs required in this Section, 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 Board shall make publicly available both the total number of active transportation network drivers in the rideshare industry and the median number of rides used to make that determination. The information required to be provided to the Board in this Section 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.
