					<description><![CDATA[State Sen. Tom Lee on Wednesday filed an amendment for the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles bill that would regulate the operations of ridebooking services like Uber and Lyft. The language would prohibit local governments and governmental bodies, including airport authorities, from cutting deal with &#8220;transportation network companies&#8221; (TNCs) to operate exclusively in their jurisdictions. The amendment for the bill (HB 545) also prohibits agreements &#8220;that provides disparate treatment&#8221; to any TNC. The prohibitions wouldn&#8217;t &#8220;apply to contracts existing&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A Florida appellate court has ruled that a former Uber driver isn’t entitled to unemployment benefits because he was an independent contractor, not an employee. A unanimous three-judge panel of the 3rd District Court of Appeal in Miami ruled Wednesday for the Department of Economic Opportunity, the state’s jobs agency, against Darrin E. McGillis. The ruling is another win for the San Francisco-based ridebooking service, which is fighting a multi-state legal battle not to be considered an employer so it&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Online car services such as Uber and Lyft got a preliminary win in Florida after favorable legislation was filed Wednesday in the Legislature. The bills (SB 340 and HB 221), which would apply to ridebooking companies like Uber and Lyft, combine parts of previous measures that have been introduced but not passed over the last few years. Still, &#8220;transportation network companies,&#8221; or TNCs, pretty much got what they wanted, including a provision for driver background checks that don&#8217;t require fingerprints, which are more expensive&#8230;]]></description>
