§ 8-2719 — Same; mandatory insurance disclosure

(a) A TNC shall disclose prominently, with a separate acknowledgment of acceptance, to its TNC drivers in the prospective TNC drivers' written terms of service the following before the drivers are allowed to accept a request for TNC services on the TNC's digital network or software application:
"If the vehicle that you plan to use to provide transportation network company services has a lien against it, using the vehicle for transportation network company services may violate the terms of your contract with the lienholder. If you are required by agreement with the lienholder to maintain comprehensive and collision insurance on the vehicle, using the vehicle for TNC services without such insurance coverage may violate your legal obligation to the lienholder under Kansas law."
(b) If a TNC's insurer makes a payment for a claim covered under comprehensive coverage or collision coverage, the TNC shall cause its insurer to issue the payment directly to the business repairing the vehicle or jointly to the owner of the vehicle and the primary lienholder on the covered vehicle.
(c) If the vehicle used by a transportation network driver is subject to a lien and the lienholder requires comprehensive and collision insurance in its agreement, the transportation network driver shall ensure that comprehensive and collision insurance that covers the periods when the transportation network driver is logged on to a TNC's digital network but not engaged in a prearranged ride and when the transportation network driver is engaged in a prearranged ride is in effect.
(d) This section shall take effect on and after January 1, 2016.
