The bill, enacted as R.S. 17:166.1, establishes regulations for transportation network companies (TNCs) to provide transportation services for students under the age of eighteen to and from school or school-related activities. It allows local public school boards to contract with TNCs, provided that these companies comply with specific requirements. These include ensuring that drivers are at least twenty-one years old with a valid Louisiana driver's license, undergoing thorough background checks, and completing child safety education. Additionally, TNCs must implement technology solutions for real-time ride tracking and safety monitoring, maintain vehicles that meet certain age and inspection criteria, and provide commercial automotive insurance that covers unaccompanied minors.

The bill also mandates that drivers conduct daily pre-trip inspections of their vehicles, documenting any safety-related defects, and ensuring that any noted issues are addressed before providing services. Furthermore, TNCs are required to publish an annual safety report on their websites. The rules established by the Louisiana Department of Education and the contracts between TNCs and local school boards will govern the services provided under this new law.
