I just have some questions, Josh, for for you as well, for Uber.
3:39:40
You know?
3:39:41
And and I think just taking a step back for a second, I I wanna be be very clear about, you know, there's a lot of dialogue and and, you know, testimony and and opposing viewpoints.
3:39:51
But I think we all can agree that we all want to have a process that is fair that is allows for drivers to have a voice in that process to be able to make their case and one that gives them notice an an opportunity to be heard.
3:40:08
I know that's the place that we all wanna come from and we all, I think, and agree on these fundamental principles.
3:40:14
So I just had a few questions about the current process and also the bill that we're hearing today.
3:40:20
So firstly, you would agree, right, that it's important for drivers to have notice before they deactivated of the fact of it impending deactivation.

I think for 99% of deactivations, I think there needs to be a notice, but there are some egregious and I use egregious because it's in the bill.
3:40:41
Yeah.
3:40:41
There are some egregious situations that could put a future writer in jeopardy Sure.
3:40:47
Where where there might not be an opportunity for notice, but that aside, notifications, warnings, opportunities for education.
3:40:56
Yes.
3:40:57
Agree.
