Bill summary
Senate amendment makes the following changes to the 5th edition.
Modifies and adds to the proposed changes to GS 20-280.5 as follows. More specifically requires transportation network companies (TNCs) to keep for one year a record of each TNC driver's current address the TNC has on record at the time the driver's relationship with the TNC ended. Concerning the required license plate number displays in TNC driver vehicles, adds that the vehicle license plate number must be printed in a legible and contrasting font no smaller than three inches in height (previously, did not require contrasting font and had a two-inch minimum height requirement). Qualifies the proposed requirement for TNCs to require a TNC driver to display consistent and distinctive signage or emblems at all times when the TNC driver is active on the TNC digital platform or when providing any TNC service which reasonably assists customers to identify or verify a TNC driver responsible to a ride request. Adds a new subsection, effective July 1, 2020, to allow a TNC to seek approval from the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for technological identifiers as an alternative to the required distinctive signage or emblems. Permits DMV approval if it reasonably assists customers to identify or verify a TNC driver responsing to a ride request. Requires the approved technological identifiers to be used in the same manner as other distinctive signage or emblems.
