Bill Summary

AN ACT To amend Code Section 33-1-24 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to insurance requirements for transportation network companies and their drivers, so as to clarify periods of time for transportation network company services; to provide for a definition; to provide for related matters; to provide for an effective date and applicability; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill clarifies the definition of "transportation network company services," which refers to the time a driver is working for a company like Uber or Lyft. Previously, this period was defined as the time a driver accepted a ride request, but now it will be defined as the time a rider occupies a vehicle during a ride requested through the company's digital network until the ride is completed. This change aims to provide a clearer timeframe for insurance coverage related to these services, excluding transportation provided by traditional taxis or limousines. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2026, and will apply to insurance policies issued or renewed on or after that date.
