Senate Bill No. by Senator Jenkins amends R.S. 45:201.9 to enhance the requirements for transportation network company drivers regarding proof of insurance. The bill mandates that drivers must carry written or digital proof of insurance coverage at all times while using their vehicle in connection with a transportation network company's digital platform. In the event of an accident, drivers are required to provide this insurance information to interested parties, insurers, and police officers upon request. Additionally, they must disclose whether they were logged onto the digital network or on a prearranged ride at the time of the accident.

The bill introduces new penalties for non-compliance, stating that failure to adhere to any provision of this section will subject the transportation network company driver to the penalties outlined in R.S. 32:863.1. This amendment aims to ensure accountability and transparency among transportation network company drivers, thereby enhancing safety and regulatory compliance within the industry.
