Minnesota Governor Vetoes Rideshare Bill Amid Uber Warning and Local Concerns.
TL;DR
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz vetoed a bill that would have required a pay raise for ride-booking drivers after Uber threatened to stop its services in most of the state over the legislation. The bill would have established a minimum wage for gig workers, including drivers for Uber and Lyft. Walz issued an executive order to commission a study on the topic and form a working group to propose recommendations for rideshare legislation during the next session.
