S 5672 NY
Requires transportation network companies to notify passengers who have reported an incident of sexual assault of certain information
A state bill is a proposed law in a state legislature — separate from the U.S. Congress. Learn more →
Summary
This bill requires transportation network companies (such as ride-sharing services) to provide specific notifications to passengers who report incidents of sexual assault during a TNC-arranged trip. The company must notify the passenger that it will not report the incident to law enforcement on behalf of the passenger. Additionally, the company must inform the passenger of their independent right to report the incident directly to local law enforcement or state police. The bill ensures passengers are aware that they can make their own report to police if they choose to do so. Specific details about TNC procedures for handling assault reports or victim support services are not included in the available summary.
AI-generated plain-language summary of the bill (from the OpenStates abstract — no full text available yet) — neutral, and may be imperfect.
