This bill establishes new requirements for drivers employed by transportation network companies and shared-use mobility companies seeking contracts with federal executive agencies. It mandates that all drivers performing work under such federal agreements must be at least 21 years old, possess a valid driver's license, and successfully complete a driver's road test. A crucial provision requires drivers to demonstrate sufficient English proficiency to communicate with the public and law enforcement, understand traffic signs, and complete reports. The English proficiency requirement includes the ability to read and speak English adequately for public interaction, official inquiries, and record-keeping. However, an important exception is made for drivers who are deaf or hearing impaired and use American Sign Language. Companies seeking federal contracts must certify that all their drivers meet these specified criteria, and any company found to be non-compliant with this certification will face a significant penalty: debarment from receiving federal contracts for a period of five years.
