Lyft is urging Gov. Jared Polis to veto a measure establishing further safety regulations on rideshare companies.

Passed by the legislature, House Bill 1291 would require rideshare companies to conduct criminal background checks on drivers at least once every six months and review drivers who have had complaints filed against them by riders. If the company determines that the allegation is "more than likely to have occurred," it must deactivate the driver's profile.

The bill includes a number of other provisions, including requiring rideshare companies to respond to subpoenas and search warrants within 48 hours, allowing drivers to opt in to audio and video recordings of rides, and prohibiting drivers from sharing with or renting accounts to individuals not registered with the app.
