Bill Summary

Relative to rental car fees for electronic tolling. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 90 of the General Laws to regulate rental car companies' fees for electronic tolls incurred by drivers. It requires that any fees charged for electronic tolls must represent the actual cost of the tolls and the rental company's good faith estimate of the costs necessary to recover those tolls. Additionally, rental companies are prohibited from charging a rental fee for an electronic tolling transponder. Any violation of these provisions would constitute a violation of Chapter 93A, which deals with unfair and deceptive trade practices.
