S 2252 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to peer to peer car sharing

This bill establishes a new regulatory framework for peer-to-peer car sharing services in Massachusetts, which facilitate the rental of private vehicles to individuals. It requires these services to share vehicle registration details with state agencies, display clear cost estimates to consumers, and attach an approved symbol to every rented car. Additionally, the Department of Public Utilities is tasked with ensuring vehicle safety through inspections and has the authority to issue fines or take other actions against programs that violate the law. The bill also outlines a process for appealing penalties and allows for judicial review if a company disagrees with a departmental decision.
