Sir:
Your Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 1280, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION NETWORK COMPANIES,"
beg leave to report as follows:
(1) Requires the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to regulate transportation network companies and transportation network company drivers;
(2) Establishes motor vehicle insurance requirements for the transportation network company industry;
(3) Establishes minimum qualifications for transportation network company drivers; and
(4) Appropriates funds for the PUC to carry out the regulation of transportation network companies and their drivers.
Your Committees have amended this measure by changing its effective date to July 1, 2112, to encourage further discussion.

Additionally, your Committees received testimony regarding agreed upon language between UBER Technologies and several insurance companies nationally. Your Committees respectfully request that your Committee on Finance further examine these issues.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Judiciary that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1280, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Finance, in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1280, S.D. 2, H.D. 2.
