Bill > LB465

This bill modifies regulations for transportation network companies (TNCs), such as Uber or Lyft, by changing two key aspects of their existing legal requirements. First, it alters the annual fee structure, giving TNCs the option to pay either a flat fee up to $25,000 or a per-vehicle fee up to $80 per personal vehicle, with the total collected fees intended to only cover the cost of administrative enforcement. Second, the bill eliminates the existing detailed safety inspection requirements for personal vehicles used by TNC drivers, which previously mandated comprehensive annual inspections covering numerous vehicle components like brakes, lights, tires, and safety belts. By removing these specific inspection mandates, the bill reduces regulatory burden on TNC drivers and companies while potentially simplifying the process of qualifying a personal vehicle for ride-sharing services. The bill maintains the requirement that vehicles must comply with the Motor Vehicle Registration Act, but removes the explicit, itemized safety inspection protocols that were previously in place.
