Does this mean drivers will need working visas? If so, it will drastically reduce the number of drivers.


Yes, it will mean that all drivers can be verified as having work authorization in the USA.


Unlikely, California is a "Sanctuary State" and essentially has no enforcement of state (or federal) laws governing "illegal" employment.

If anything, they consider it to be a good thing.


Even though California is much more lax on immigration, undocumented immigrants that work here still work "illegally". And I-9 Audits are conducted by ICE, not California.

Like SpicyLemonZest said, it sounds extremely unlikely that Uber and Lyft, being public, would risk filing fraudulent I-9s.


That is grossly untrue. Federal authorities can and do take enforcement actions in CA, they just won’t get support from the state or localities.


Sure, but I can't imagine Uber and Lyft would file fraudulent I-9s whether or not California cares.


Why would state enforce a federal employment requirement ?
