Revises provisions governing the short-term lease of a passenger car. (BDR 43-26)
What changed between versions
Changed the insurance proof requirement from mandatory to optional for short-term lessors, giving rental companies discretion rather than a legal obligation to require customers to show proof of insurance.
Added new provisions prohibiting unfair, deceptive, or coercive conduct by rental companies when trying to sell optional services like damage waivers, including specific examples like refusing reservations or blocking credit cards if customers decline optional purchases.
Added clarification that selling temporary insurance policies in accordance with existing insurance requirements does not count as unfair or deceptive conduct under the new protections.
Changed document formatting from 'As Introduced' committee bill format to 'As Enrolled' final bill format, including updated headers and page numbering for the 36th Special Session of 2025.
