The Private Vehicle-for-Hire Operator Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend the Department of For-Hire Vehicles Establishment Act of 1985 by clarifying the definition of a private vehicle-for-hire operator. The bill specifically defines a private vehicle-for-hire operator as an individual who uses the digital dispatch of a private vehicle-for-hire company to operate a motor vehicle for passenger transportation. This clarification is intended to provide a clearer understanding of the role and responsibilities of private vehicle-for-hire operators within the regulatory framework.
The act is set to take effect on March 1, 2024, following the necessary approval processes, including a 30-day congressional review period. It is designed as a temporary measure, with an expiration date of 225 days after its enactment. The bill also includes a fiscal impact statement, which has been adopted from the Budget Director, ensuring that the financial implications of the amendment are considered.
