Criminalizes fraudulently pretending to be transportation network company driver.

This New Jersey bill (S 607) makes it a crime to falsely claim to be a ride-hailing driver (like Uber or Lyft) to gain a benefit, cause harm, or defraud someone. It creates two offenses: a fourth-degree crime (up to 18 months in jail or $10,000 fine) for pretending to be a driver, and a third-degree crime (3-5 years in jail or $15,000 fine) if someone also uses fake identification. The law specifically excludes legitimate drivers offering cash rides. It directly affects individuals impersonating drivers to commit fraud, not actual transportation network company drivers.
