This bill amends Section 321N.1 of the Iowa Code to clarify the definition of a "digital network" as it pertains to transportation network companies. Specifically, it states that a digital network, which is defined as an online-enabled application, internet site, or system that allows riders to prearrange rides with drivers, is not considered a "product" under Iowa law.

The bill includes new legal language that explicitly states, "A digital network is not a product under the Code." This clarification aims to delineate the legal status of digital networks in relation to existing product definitions within the Iowa Code, which are not uniformly defined across various chapters. The inclusion of this language does not imply that the members of the general assembly agree with the substance of the explanation provided.
