The bill amends Chapter 31-22 of the General Laws by introducing a new section, 31-22-22.2, which prohibits individuals under the age of sixteen from using rideshare vehicles when traveling alone. Rideshare vehicles are defined to include services such as Uber, Lyft, and other similar platforms that provide point-to-point ride services. The bill specifies that no fines or sanctions will be imposed for violations of this prohibition, and no records of such occurrences will be maintained.

Additionally, the bill grants law enforcement officers the authority to enforce this prohibition by removing underage individuals from rideshare vehicles and keeping them in custody until they can be reunited with a parent or guardian. This act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
