Fiscal Note

The fiscal note reflects the introduced bill.
Summary of Legislation
This bill allows transportation network companies (TNCs) to contract with schools, governments, and
tax-exempt entities, subject to Public Utilities Commission (PUC) regulation.
State Expenditures
This bill will increase workload in the state agencies discussed below.
Public Utilities Commission. Workload may increase for the PUC in the Department of Regulatory
Agencies to regulate additional TNC services. Related rulemaking is assumed to be accomplished
within existing appropriations of the PUC and the Department of Law.
Department of Personnel and Administration. Assuming any state contracts with TNCs indemnify
the state against liability, the bill is not expected to increase expenditures to the Office of Risk
Management. The office will monitor these contracts within the normal course of business.
