AI Summary
This bill requires rental car companies to inform renters that they should disconnect their personal devices and erase any personal information, such as navigation history or phone data, from the vehicle's computer system before returning the car. This notice must be displayed where customers return vehicles, and companies can also choose to include it on their websites or in rental agreements. A "rental car company" is defined as any business that rents vehicles to the public for short periods, and "personal information" refers to any data that can identify an individual. If a rental car company fails to comply, they will face a $500 civil penalty for the first violation and $1,000 for subsequent violations, with enforcement handled by the Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs.
