Passenger Safety Legislation Approved by Policy Committee
Other Cooper Bills Advance
SACRAMENTO – Assembly Bill 1422, authored by Assemblymember Jim Cooper (D-Elk Grove), was unanimously approved today by the Senate Energy, Utilities and Communications Committee. AB 1422 would require Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) such as Uber, Lyft and Sidecar to enroll in the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Employer Pull Notice Program.
“The DMV Pull Notice program helps businesses and government agencies ensure that unsafe drivers are taken off the road quickly. AB 1422 would improve safety on our roads, particularly for passengers utilizing Uber and other similar transportation services,” said Cooper.
