              SEXUAL ASSAULT OF PASSENGERS, TNC DRIVERS, AND DRIVERS OF 
              OTHER FOR-HIRE VEHICLES.

    (a) GAO Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment 
of this Act, and every 2 years thereafter, the Comptroller General of 
the United States shall submit to Congress a report that includes the 
results of a study regarding--
            (1) the incidence of fatal and non-fatal physical assault 
        and sexual assault perpetrated in the preceding 2 calendar 
        years (starting with calendar years 2019 and 2020 for the first 
        study)--
                    (A) against TNC drivers and drivers of other for-
                hire vehicles (including taxicabs) by passengers and 
                riders of for-hire vehicles; and
                    (B) against passengers and riders by other 
                passengers and TNC drivers or drivers of other for-hire 
                vehicles (including taxicabs), including the incidences 
                that are committed by individuals who are not TNC 
                drivers or drivers of other for-hire vehicles but who 
                pose as TNC drivers or drivers of other for-hire 
                vehicles;
            (2) the nature and specifics of any background checks 
        conducted on prospective TNC drivers and drivers of other for-
        hire vehicles (including taxicabs), including any State and 
        local laws requiring those background checks; and
            (3) the safety steps taken by transportation network 
        companies and other for-hire vehicle services (including 
        taxicab companies) related to rider and driver safety.
    (b) Sexual Assault Defined.--In this section, the term ``sexual 
assault'' means the occurrence of an act that constitutes any 
nonconsensual sexual act proscribed by Federal, Tribal, or State law, 
including when the victim lacks capacity to consent.

            Amend the title so as to read: ``An Act to study the 
        incidence of fatal and non-fatal assaults in TNC and for-hire 
        vehicles in order to enhance safety and save lives.''.

            Attest:
