Bill overview
S. 1871, known as Sami’s Law, aims to improve safety and accountability within the ride-hailing industry. The bill compels states to enact and enforce specific regulations for transportation network companies (TNCs), including requiring illuminated license plates, unique vehicle identification codes, and regular safety inspections. It also establishes penalties for states that fail to meet these requirements, potentially withholding federal highway funds. Furthermore, the bill mandates that TNCs implement systems for verifying driver and passenger identities, and prohibits the sale of branded signage by unauthorized parties.
