The bill introduces new regulations concerning prearranged transportation services in Florida, specifically targeting the impersonation of transportation network company (TNC) drivers. It establishes a new section, 316.2021, which makes it illegal to impersonate a TNC driver through false statements or counterfeit signage, with penalties ranging from a misdemeanor of the second degree to a felony of the third degree if the impersonation is linked to a separate felony offense. Additionally, the bill amends existing statutes to clarify that services from TNCs are not classified as privately owned or operated bus transit systems and revises the definition of transportation service providers to exclude TNCs.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that transportation service providers must provide their drivers with access to third-party training materials that meet specific standards set by the Agency for Persons with Disabilities. This requirement aims to enhance the training and professional development of drivers providing paratransit services to individuals with disabilities. The effective date for the provisions of this act is set for July 1, 2025.
