  12. Assembly Bill 2293 - Susan Bonilla • When a driver has accepted a request or picked up a passenger, AB 2293 would require $1 million worth of insurance. • When the driver is cruising with app on looking for a fare, AB 2293 requires $200,000 worth of insurance. • If the Governor signs the bill into law, the requirement would be effective July 1, 2015, and the CPUC and Dept. of Insurance would need to assess whether the coverage requirements are appropriate and report back to the legislature by Dec 31, 2017.
