Ohio § 4925.09

§ 4925.09.

(A)(1) The regulation of transportation network companies, transportation network company

drivers, and transportation network company services is a matter of general statewide

interest that requires statewide regulation.  Chapter 4925. and sections 3942.01 to 3942.04 of the Revised Code 1 constitute a comprehensive plan with respect to all aspects of the regulation of

transportation network companies, transportation network company drivers, and transportation

network company services.  Accordingly, except as authorized in division (A)(2) of this section, it is the

intent of the general assembly to preempt any local ordinance, resolution, or other

law adopted to license, register, tax, or otherwise regulate transportation network

companies, transportation network company drivers, or transportation network company

services. (2) The operator of a public-use airport, as defined in section 4563.30 of the Revised Code , may adopt reasonable standards, regulations, procedures, and fees that are applicable

to transportation network company services that are provided to any transportation

network company rider who requests service to, from, or on the property of the public-use

airport.  A transportation network company or transportation network company driver shall

comply with any applicable standards, regulations, or procedures adopted by a public-use

airport and shall pay any applicable fees in a timely manner. (B) With regard to the provision of transportation network company services, no transportation

network company or transportation network company driver is subject to regulation

as a chauffeured limousine under section 4511.85 of the Revised Code , as a taxicab or vehicle for hire, or as a for-hire motor carrier under Chapters

4921. and 4923. of the Revised Code.  No vehicle used to provide transportation network company services shall be required

to register as a chauffeured limousine, taxicab or vehicle for hire, commercial car,

or for-hire motor carrier in order to provide transportation network company services. 1

 Two conflicting versions of RC 3938.01, 3938.02, 3938.03, and 3938.04 were passed

by the General Assembly in 2015 H 237, eff. 3-23-16, and 2015 H 259, eff. 3-23-16.

 RC 3938.01, 3938.02, 3938.03, and 3938.04 from 2015 H 237 were subsequently renumbered

RC 3942.01, 3942.02, 3942.03, and 3942.04, respectively, by the Legislative Service

Commission.  Consequently, “3942.01 to 3942.04 of the Revised Code” appeared as “3938.01

to 3938.04 of the Revised Code” in 2015 H 237, but was subsequently changed by the

Legislative Service Commission.
