Ride companies would make their booking systems ask about children who need car seats or booster seats. The first question applies to everyone requesting a prearranged ride. If a child must use a car seat or booster seat under state law, the requester would also say whether a rider will provide and install each required seat in the driver's car. The questions would be required when the bill becomes law.
Drivers could not accept or confirm certain prearranged rides without a rider's seat confirmation. This applies only when the requester reports a child who must use a car seat or booster seat under state law. A rider must confirm they will provide and install each required seat in the driver's car before the driver may accept or confirm the ride. The driver rule would start on the first day of the third month after the bill becomes law.
