MINOR
The bill was amended to remove a specific date placeholder for the committee proposal and to update formatting for consistency. A significant substantive change was made to Section D regarding ride receipts: a sentence requiring the app to automatically notify drivers of receipt updates was deleted, meaning the system no longer mandates an automatic alert when a receipt is modified.
TECHNICAL

Removed a placeholder date and committee attribution text at the beginning of the document.

Added consistent spacing around section references throughout the text.

REQUIREMENT

Deleted a requirement that the transportation network company must automatically send an update notification to the driver whenever a ride receipt is modified.
