CAR-SHARING PROGRAM ACT
Summary
Creates the Car-Sharing Program Act. Adds provisions governing: insurance coverage requirements during car-sharing periods; notification of implications of lien; exclusions in motor vehicle liability insurance policies; recordkeeping requirements; vicarious liability; contribution against indemnification; insurable interests; consumer protection disclosures; driver's license verification; data retention; responsibility for equipment; and automobile safety recalls. Effective January 1, 2022. House Committee Amendment No. 1 Provides that, under specified circumstances, a motor vehicle insurer that defends or indemnifies a claim against a shared vehicle that is excluded under the terms of its policy shall have the right to seek recovery (instead of contribution) against the motor vehicle insurer of the car-sharing program. House Floor Amendment No. 2 Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the contents of the introduced bill and House Amendment No. 1, and makes the following changes: Provides that a car-sharing program shall assume liability of a shared-vehicle owner for bodily injury or property damage to third parties or uninsured and underinsured motorist or personal injury protection losses during the car-sharing period in an amount stated in the car-sharing agreement, which amount may not be less than 4 times the minimum amounts required under the Illinois Vehicle Code (instead of those amounts set forth in the Illinois Vehicle Code). Provides that a car-sharing program shall ensure that, during each car-sharing period, the shared-vehicle owner and the shared-vehicle driver are insured under a motor vehicle liability insurance policy that provides insurance coverage in amounts that, for the shared-vehicle driver, are equal to 2 times the minimum amounts set forth in the Illinois Vehicle Code (instead of in amounts no less than the minimum amounts set forth in the Illinois Vehicle Code). Deletes a Section concerning the inapplicability of other Acts. Makes other changes in a Section concerning insurable interest.
