  251         (j)If a transportation network company’s insurer makes a

  260  following in writing to drivers before they are allowed to
  261  accept a request for transportation network company service on
  262  the transportation network company’s digital network:
  263         1.The insurance coverage, including the types of coverage
  264  and the limits for each coverage, that the transportation
  265  network company provides while the driver uses a personal
  266  vehicle in connection with a transportation network company’s
  267  digital network.
  268         2.That the driver’s own automobile insurance policy might
  269  not provide any coverage while the driver is logged into the
  270  transportation network company’s digital network and is
  271  available to receive transportation requests or is engaged in
  272  transportation network company service depending on its terms.
  273         3.That the provision of rides for compensation, whether
  274  prearranged or otherwise, which is not covered by this section
  275  subjects the driver to the coverage requirements imposed by s.
  276  324.032(1), and that failure to meet such limits subjects the
  277  driver to penalties provided in s. 324.221, up to and including
  278  a misdemeanor of the second degree.
  279         (b)1.An insurer that provides automobile liability
  280  insurance policies under part XI of chapter 627 may exclude any
  281  and all coverage afforded under the owner’s or driver’s
  282  insurance policy for any loss or injury that occurs while a
  283  driver is logged into a transportation network company’s digital
  284  network or while a driver provides transportation network
  285  company service. This right to exclude all coverage may apply to
  286  any coverage included in an automobile insurance policy,
  287  including, but not limited to:
  288         a.Liability coverage for bodily injury and property
  289  damage.
  290         b.Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage.
  291         c.Medical payments coverage.
  292         d.Comprehensive physical damage coverage.
  293         e.Collision physical damage coverage.
  294         f.Personal injury protection.
  295         2.The exclusions described in subparagraph 1. apply
  296  notwithstanding any requirement under chapter 324. This section
  297  does not require or imply that a personal automobile insurance
  298  policy provides coverage while the driver is logged into the
  299  transportation network company’s digital network, while the
  300  driver is engaged in transportation network company service, or
  301  while the driver otherwise uses a vehicle to transport riders
  302  for compensation.
  303         3.This section does not preclude an insurer from providing
  304  coverage by contract or endorsement for the driver’s vehicle.
  305         (c)1.An insurer that excludes the coverage described in
  306  subparagraph (b)1. has no duty to defend or indemnify any claim
  307  expressly excluded thereunder. This section does not invalidate
  308  or limit an exclusion contained in a policy, including a policy
  309  in use or approved for use in this state before July 1, 2016.
  310         2.An automobile insurer that defends or indemnifies a
  311  claim against a driver, which is excluded under the terms of its
  312  policy, has a right of contribution against other insurers that
  313  provide automobile insurance to the same driver in satisfaction
  314  of the coverage requirements of subsection (8) at the time of
  315  loss.
  316         (d)In a claims coverage investigation, transportation
  317  network companies and any insurer providing coverage under
  318  subsection (8) shall cooperate to facilitate the exchange of
  319  relevant information with directly involved parties and any
  320  insurer of the driver, if applicable, including the precise
  321  times that a driver logged into and off of the transportation
  322  network company’s digital network during the 12-hour period
  323  immediately before and the 12-hour period immediately after the
  324  accident and disclose to one another a clear description of the
  325  coverage, exclusions, and limits provided under any automobile
  326  insurance maintained under subsection (8).
  327         (10)DRIVERS AS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS.—
  328         (a)A driver is an independent contractor and not an
  329  employee of the company if all of the following conditions are
  330  met:
  331         1.The company does not prescribe specific hours during
  332  which the driver must be logged into the company’s digital
  333  network.

  335  ability to use digital networks from other companies.
  336         3.The company does not assign the driver to a particular
  337  territory in which transportation network company services are
  338  authorized to be provided.
  339         4.The company does not restrict the driver from engaging
  340  in any other occupation or business.
  341         5.The company and the driver agree in writing that the
  342  driver is an independent contractor of the company.
  343         (b)A company operating under this section is not required
  344  to provide workers’ compensation coverage to a transportation
  345  network company driver who is classified as an independent
  346  contractor pursuant to this section.
  347         (11)ZERO TOLERANCE FOR DRUG OR ALCOHOL USE.—
  348         (a)A company shall implement a zero tolerance policy on
  349  use of illegal drugs or alcohol by a driver who is providing
  350  transportation network company service or who is logged into the
  351  company’s digital network but is not providing service.
  352         (b)A company shall provide notice on its website of a zero
  353  tolerance policy under paragraph (a) and shall provide
  354  procedures for a rider to file a complaint about a driver who

  356  or alcohol during the course of a trip.
  357         (c)Upon receipt of a rider complaint alleging a violation
  358  of the zero tolerance policy, the company shall immediately
  359  suspend the accused driver’s access to the company’s digital
  360  network and shall conduct an investigation into the reported
  361  incident. The suspension shall last for the duration of the

  462  company drivers, and vehicles used by transportation network
  463  company drivers are governed exclusively by state law and any
  464  rules adopted by the department. A county, municipality, special
  465  district, airport authority, port authority, or other local
  466  governmental entity or subdivision may not impose a tax on, or
  467  require a license for, a company or a driver, or a vehicle used
  468  by a driver, if such tax or license relates to providing
  469  transportation network company services, or subjects a company,
  470  driver, or vehicle to any rate, entry, operation, or other
  471  requirement of the county, municipality, special district,
  472  airport authority, port authority, or other local governmental
  473  entity or subdivision. This section does not prohibit an airport
  474  from charging reasonable fees for use of the airport’s
  475  facilities or designating locations for staging, pickup, and
  476  other similar operations at the airport.
  477         Section 3. Section 324.031, Florida Statutes, is amended to
  478  read:

  503  addition, any such person, other than a natural person, shall
  504  maintain insurance providing coverage in excess of limits of
  505  $10,000/20,000/10,000 or $30,000 combined single limits, and
  506  such excess insurance shall provide minimum limits of
  507  $125,000/250,000/50,000 or $300,000 combined single limits.
  508  These increased limits shall not affect the requirements for
