This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
The Passenger Charter-party Carriers' Act, with certain exceptions, prohibits a charter-party carrier of passengers from engaging in transportation services subject to regulation by the Public Utilities Commission without obtaining a specified certificate or permit, as appropriate, from the commission, and imposes various other requirements. Existing law establishes various exclusions to the act. Pursuant to existing law, the commission rendered a decision relating to public safety risks in the operation of transportation network companies and defined a transportation network company as an organization that provides prearranged transportation services for compensation using an online-enabled platform to connect passengers with drivers using their personal vehicles. This bill would specifically include within the definition of charter-party carrier of passengers a person that uses an online-enabled application or platform to connect passengers with drivers. Existing law requires the commission to require charter-party carriers of passengers to procure and continue in effect adequate assurances of protection against liability, as specified. This bill would specify that the assurances against protection against liability shall be primary. The bill would require the commission to develop a standard disclosure agreement with specified insurance disclosures, and would require the agreement to be included in a written agreement between drivers and charter-party carriers of passengers that use an online-enabled application or platform to connect passengers with drivers, and to be signed by those drivers. The bill would provide that the disclosure agreement records of a charter-party carrier of passengers are subject to review and audit by the commission. Existing law provides that a violation of the provisions governing charter-party carriers of passengers and of associated regulations adopted by the commission is a crime. This bill would revise the definition of a crime, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
