Bill > HF2752

This bill establishes a comprehensive legal framework for peer-to-peer car sharing programs in Minnesota, defining how individuals can share their personal vehicles through digital platforms. The legislation creates detailed definitions and regulations covering insurance, physical damage protection, financial packages, and consumer protections. Specifically, the bill clarifies that peer-to-peer car sharing is distinct from traditional car rentals, and it requires car sharing programs to provide insurance coverage during the car sharing period, verify drivers' licenses, and ensure vehicle safety. The bill mandates that car sharing programs must disclose important information to vehicle owners and drivers, such as insurance coverage details, potential fees, and liability considerations. Key consumer protections include requiring programs to verify that shared vehicles do not have outstanding safety recalls and providing clear guidelines about insurance coverage during car sharing periods. The bill also specifies that shared vehicle owners and the car sharing programs are exempt from certain vicarious liability provisions. These regulations will take effect on January 1, 2026, providing a structured approach to regulating the emerging peer-to-peer car sharing market in Minnesota.
