Provides that no transportation network company (TNC) driver, after having accepted a request through the TNC's digital network or software application and having picked up the passenger, shall demand, force, or otherwise require the passenger to exit the vehicle prior to arriving at the destination, unless actions of the passenger have caused the driver to reasonably fear for the driver's health or safety. Provides that if a TNC driver forces a passenger to prematurely exit the vehicle, the TNC that the TNC driver is providing services for shall be assessed a fine of $500, and the TNC shall credit the passenger for the amount of the ride that was prematurely ended. Provides that fines shall be enforced and collected by the Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Attorney General. Provides that the Attorney General shall have the powers to enforce the provisions as set forth in specified provisions of the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act to make conforming changes.
