Senate Bill 567 Summary

• Amends North Carolina law to require transportation network companies (such as ride-sharing services) and their drivers to maintain insurance coverage for digitally dispatched prearranged transportation services.

• Establishes two tiers of required insurance: $1,000,000 coverage when a driver has accepted a ride request and is actively transporting passengers, and $30,000/$60,000/$25,000 coverage during periods when the driver is logged into the platform but not yet carrying passengers.

• Requires transportation network companies to disclose in writing to drivers their insurance coverage limits and that personal auto insurance policies may not provide coverage during platform use.

• Prohibits personal automobile insurance policies from being required to provide primary coverage or defend claims during platform use unless expressly stated in the policy with a separate premium charge.

• Becomes effective July 1, 2015.
