AI Summary

This bill amends the Transportation Network Company Services Act to allow transportation network companies (TNCs) to connect drivers with riders for the purpose of providing non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services, including under the state's Medicaid program. The bill requires TNCs to conduct criminal background checks, exclusion list checks, and other reviews of drivers before they can provide NEMT services to Medicaid recipients. It also allows the state's medical assistance division to require TNCs to contract with a transportation broker before facilitating NEMT services for Medicaid recipients. The bill clarifies that the provisions of the Transportation Network Company Services Act apply to NEMT services provided by TNCs and their drivers.
