Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to prohibiting rental vehicle companies from imposing any fees, charges or penalties, other than the actual cost of a toll, on an authorized driver for such driver's use of a rental vehicle

AI Summary

This bill amends the New York general business law to prohibit rental vehicle companies from charging customers any additional fees, charges, or penalties beyond the actual cost of a toll when using an electronic toll collection system or photo-monitoring system. Specifically, the legislation prevents rental car companies from imposing extra administrative or processing fees related to toll payments, ensuring that customers are only responsible for paying the exact toll amount. The bill will take effect 60 days after becoming law and is designed to protect consumers from what are often seen as excessive fees associated with toll transactions during rental vehicle use. The provision applies to authorized drivers using rental vehicles and references electronic toll collection systems as defined in the public authorities law, aiming to create transparency and fairness in how rental companies handle toll-related charges.
