What’s in it

AI summary Apps and websites used to book rides through transportation companies will no longer be considered "products" under Iowa law. This change specifically affects the way these digital systems are classified.1

Read the official explanation

This bill provides that an online-enabled application, internet site, or system offered or utilized by a transportation network company that enables transportation network company riders to prearrange rides with transportation network company drivers is not a product under Iowa Code. “Product” is not a defined term under Code section 4.1, but is defined in various contexts in many Code chapters, often in combination with other terms, depending on the subject matter.
