Bill Summary
Requires the use of electronic coupling when providing prearranged transportation services to passengers to indicate through an interactive exchange of signals on both the driver's handheld device and the passenger's handheld device that the prearranged match has been confirmed and that the passenger may safely enter the vehicle designated to pick him or her up.
AI Summary
This bill requires the use of electronic coupling when providing prearranged transportation services to passengers, such as through transportation network companies (e.g., ride-sharing apps) or for-hire vehicles. The electronic coupling system enables an interactive exchange of signals between the driver's and passenger's handheld devices, allowing the passenger to confirm the prearranged match before entering the vehicle. The bill gives the Department of Motor Vehicles authority to promulgate rules and regulations for the implementation of this requirement, which will take effect one year after the bill becomes law.
