House Bill No. by Representative Mandie Landry amends the insurance requirements for drivers of transportation network companies in Louisiana. The bill mandates that these drivers maintain primary automobile insurance that includes liability, uninsured motorist, and underinsured motorist coverage. This coverage must be in effect during both the pre-trip acceptance period and the duration of a prearranged ride, with limits not less than the bodily injury liability limits specified in the policy.

The bill specifically revises the existing requirements by removing the previous stipulation that uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is only required "to the extent" mandated by R.S. 22:1295. Instead, it establishes a clear requirement for such coverage to be provided in an amount not less than the limits of bodily injury. This change aims to enhance the protection for drivers and passengers involved in rideshare services.
