a TNC driver's ability to connect to the TNC's digital network for a period of not less than 90 days after the
TNC receives notice from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) of the TNC driver's conviction for operating
while intoxicated. This bill also requires a TNC driver to display a placard in the TNC driver's personal
vehicle that includes: (1) a photograph of the TNC driver; and (2) the license plate number of the TNC
driver's personal vehicle. The bill requires a TNC to provide a TNC rider with a unique identification code
to provide to a TNC driver to begin a prearranged ride.
Effective Date: July 1, 2025.
Explanation of State Expenditures: Summary - The bill’s requirements would increase the workload of the
Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) to provide notifications to TNC networks concerning convictions for
operating while intoxicated.
Additional Information - For FY 2023, a total of 9,500 convictions for operating while intoxicated occurred
in the state. This statistic also includes offenses including death, bodily injury, or serious bodily injury. All
offenses for operating while intoxicated require an offender’s driving privileges to be suspended. The number
of individuals who were convicted of these offenses that were also TNC operators is unknown.
Explanation of State Revenues: The bill establishes requirements for TNC network operators and drivers.
Violation of these requirements would be punishable as a Class A infraction under current law. Increases in

in the state General Fund. The total court fee revenue per case would range between $85.50 and $103. The

municipal court. The following linked document describes the fees and distribution of the revenue: Court
