This bill amends section 75-304.04 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, to include provisions for transportation network companies in the context of intrastate transportation for hire of employees of railroad carriers engaged in interstate commerce. Specifically, it mandates that any motor carrier, now explicitly including transportation network companies, must apply for a license from the commission before transporting such employees. The licensing process requires a fee of $250 and adherence to specific regulations regarding driver qualifications, equipment, and operating standards. The bill also stipulates that licenses are valid for one year and can be renewed annually for the same fee.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the commission will not regulate the rates of motor carriers licensed under this section. It also includes a provision for the suspension or revocation of licenses for non-compliance with the relevant laws and regulations. The original section 75-304.04 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
