Bill > H1018

This bill further regulates the rental of motor vehicles in Massachusetts. It defines key terms such as "motor vehicle", "rental facilitator", and "vehicle rental transaction", and requires rental facilitators to collect and remit applicable taxes and fees. The bill also requires rental facilitators to enter into agreements with airports regarding rental operations and provides for potential injunctions and damages if they fail to do so. Additionally, the bill removes references to "personal vehicle sharing" and "personal vehicle sharing programs" from existing insurance laws, and adds new sections governing peer-to-peer car sharing programs, including requirements around insurance coverage, safety recalls, and record-keeping. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2023.
