What’s in it

AI summary Currently, ride-sharing drivers only need a certain amount of insurance coverage while they are waiting for a ride request. This bill would increase that required coverage to $1 million for drivers from the moment they log into their app and become available. This change ensures drivers have the same high level of insurance protection while waiting for passengers as they do while actually driving them.1
