AI Summary
This bill establishes a licensing system for companies providing nonemergency medical transportation services for Medicaid clients within the state, requiring these services to be licensed by the Public Service Commission (PSC) starting January 1, 2027, and also clarifies that certain rates charged by motor carriers and regulated motor carriers, specifically those determined by agreements with state agencies, are no longer subject to PSC regulation. The bill amends existing laws to redefine terms related to motor carriers, introduce the new license for Medicaid transportation, and outline the PSC's powers and duties in issuing these licenses, including setting fees and establishing renewal processes, while also specifying that transportation network companies, such as ride-sharing services, must also obtain this license to provide Medicaid nonemergency medical transportation.
