Peer-to-peer car sharing program established.

HF 2752 establishes a legal framework for peer-to-peer car sharing in Minnesota by creating the "Peer-to-Peer Car Sharing Program Act" (sections 65B.91-65B.95). The bill defines key terms like "car sharing period," "car sharing program agreement," and clarifies that peer-to-peer sharing (e.g., through apps connecting car owners with drivers) is not considered a rental or lease under Minnesota law for short-term use (under 28 days). It directly affects car owners who share vehicles via platforms, drivers using those platforms, and the platforms themselves, by exempting them from certain rental/lease regulations. The bill repeals outdated language (Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 65B.49, subdivision 5a) to finalize this distinction.
