(A) Before TNC drivers are allowed to accept a request for a prearranged ride on the TNC's digital network, the TNC shall disclose to the drivers, in writing, the following information:
(1) the insurance coverage, including the types of coverage and the limits for each coverage, that the TNC provides while the TNC driver uses a personal vehicle in connection with a TNC's digital network;
(2) depending on its terms, that the TNC driver's personal automobile insurance policy may not provide any coverage while the driver is logged onto the TNC's digital network and is available to receive a transportation request or is engaged in a prearranged ride; and
(3) if the vehicle to be used to provide TNC services has a lien against it, the driver has a duty to notify the lienholder that the driver will be using the vehicle for transportation services that may violate the terms of the contract with the lienholder. The driver must disclose to the lender all insurance coverage information provided to the driver by the TNC pursuant to this section. The TNC must provide a standardized form for TNC drivers to use for such notice to the lienholder. The form may be provided to the driver by the TNC in a digital format. The TNC driver must maintain evidence that notice has been sent to the lien holder as well as wait seven days prior to commencing driving in connection with a TNC.
(B) Nothing in this chapter limits the right of a lender or secured party on a driver's vehicle to require a driver to maintain comprehensive and collision damage coverage for a driver's vehicle or to show evidence of that coverage to the lender or secured party that would cover the period when the driver is logged on to the transportation network carrier's digital network regardless of whether the driver is engaged in a prearranged ride. If the driver fails to maintain the required comprehensive and collision coverage or to show evidence to the lender or secured party of the coverage upon reasonable request by the lender or secured party, the lender or secured party may fully enforce all provisions contained in the loan agreement with the borrower.
