Relates to permitting and regulating marine transportation network companies

This bill regulates marine transportation network companies, commonly known as boat ride-sharing services, specifically in New York State cities with fewer than one million residents. It establishes a licensing requirement for these companies and mandates that they carry specific insurance coverage for their drivers and passengers. The legislation also requires digital platforms to display driver photos and vehicle details before trips, ban cash payments for fares, and prohibit soliciting passengers from docks or shores. Additionally, the bill sets financial responsibility insurance limits for drivers when they are logged into the app but not actively transporting a passenger.
