TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Legislature is expected to vote next week on a regulatory measure that ride-hailing company Uber says would allow it stay in the state.

The House was expected to vote on the bill Friday, but the text of the legislation was not ready.

Uber announced in early May that it had ceased operations in Kansas after the Legislature overrode the governor’s veto on regulations the company opposed.

Under the new measure, Uber and other ride-hailing companies could do private background checks on their subcontracted drivers. They could face lawsuits from the attorney general if drivers were found to be operating with a criminal background.

Republican Rep. Scott Schwab of Olathe said the bill also would fill gaps in insurance coverage for drivers.
