The bill amends R.S. 45:201.9 to establish requirements for transportation network company drivers regarding proof of insurance coverage in the event of an accident. It mandates that drivers must carry written or digital proof of insurance at all times while using their vehicle for the transportation network. In the case 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 transportation network's digital platform or on a prearranged ride at the time of the incident.

The bill also introduces penalties for non-compliance, stating that failure to adhere to any provision of this section will subject the driver to the penalties outlined in R.S. 32:863.1. This amendment aims to enhance accountability and ensure that drivers are adequately insured while operating within the transportation network framework.
