Lawmakers could make it little easier to become an Uber or Lyft driver this session by passing Senate Bill 43. The legislation would eliminate a requirement for a certificate of good health for those driving their personal vehicles to get people around. The legislative term for that is transportation network company.

The bill is blessed with good health going in, solid bipartisanship and sponsors who have clout: Republican Sen. Owen Hill of Colorado Springs. House Republican Leader Patrick Neville of Castle Rock, Democratic Sen. Dominick Moreno of Commerce City and Democratic Rep. Dan Pabon of Denver.

The bill passed unanimously out of the Senate Business, Labor and Technology Committee Monday. The committee referred it to the full Senate’s consent calendar, signaling it isn’t likely to have much opposition.

So it was left to the telegenic Sen. Hill to pitch the bill in the latest Senate Republican video.

First off, give him a break for getting the bill number wrong. It’s Senate Bill 43, not 45. Legislators (and reporters) have literally hundreds of bill numbers to keep up with, and, in general, numbers swarm around that building like gnats on a watermelon rind.

But it’s still funny the way the Senate Republicans corrected it in the chyron. (“Just Kidding … It’s still Senate Bill 45.”)

Hill put the bipartisan bill in partisan terms.

“As Republicans we’re here to honor our pledge to reduce red tape, to cut burdensome regulations that harming job growth and are getting in the way of consumers and small businesses,” he said.

Trusting that your Uber driver is in good health is a consumer choice, Hill said.

“We trust you, the consumer,” he said. “We’re here to empower the free market to make these decisions.”
