The bill amends Titles 53 and 66 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to establish new requirements for transportation network company (TNC) drivers. Specifically, it modifies Section 57A12(b)(1) of Title 53 by adding a requirement that TNC drivers must be residents of Pennsylvania. Additionally, it removes the provision that previously allowed for the disqualification of drivers based on the suspension or revocation of their license due to operating as a TNC driver before the effective date of this section.

Furthermore, the bill amends Section 2605(b) of Title 66 by introducing a new requirement that TNC drivers providing prearranged rides originating within Pennsylvania must also be residents of the state. These changes aim to ensure that TNC drivers are more closely tied to the communities they serve, enhancing accountability and safety for passengers. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
