Bill Summary

For legislation relative to drug screening for ride for hire drivers. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill aims to establish drug and alcohol screening requirements for drivers of ride-for-hire services in Massachusetts. It amends existing laws to require that motor vehicles used for ride-for-hire purposes, such as limousines and taxis, can only be registered to operate in the state if the driver's pre-employment and random drug and alcohol screening program is approved by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. The bill also requires transportation network companies (e.g., ridesharing services) to establish and annually certify that they have implemented a driver drug and alcohol screening plan that meets the minimum requirements set by the state Division of Public Utilities and Transportation.
