Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the public authorities law and 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 existing laws to prohibit rental vehicle companies from charging authorized drivers any fees, charges, or penalties beyond the actual cost of a toll when a rental vehicle is used on a toll road or through an electronic toll collection system. Specifically, it clarifies that "lessor" in the context of toll liability does not include rental vehicle companies, and it mandates that these companies must collect tolls incurred by renters and remit them to the relevant public authority without adding extra charges. The bill defines "rental vehicle company" and "renter" in relation to these provisions, ensuring that only the direct cost of the toll is passed on to the driver.
