AB 523 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to transportation. (BDR 57-1138)

AB 523 lowers the required insurance minimum for transportation network companies (like ride-sharing apps) and delivery services from $1.5 million to $1 million per incident when drivers are actively providing services. It directly affects companies such as Uber, Lyft, and delivery platforms, reducing their financial liability requirements. The bill clarifies that transportation network companies and delivery companies are not responsible for drivers' actions (e.g., accidents or property damage) under any legal theory, provided they maintain the $1 million insurance policy. It specifically defines "delivery services" as items delivered within 50 miles using a digital platform, with the $1 million insurance requirement applying to these companies. The changes apply to both active service periods and when drivers are logged into apps but not yet providing service.
