Requires vehicle rental agreements instruct renters to remove personal information before returning the vehicle and permits rental vehicles to have decals informing the renter to remove such information
This bill requires rental car companies to remove all personal information (such as phone numbers or IDs) left in vehicles when customers return them. It directly affects rental businesses and their customers by mandating that companies actively clear personal data from returned vehicles. The key provision states that rental providers must delete such information upon receiving the vehicle, not just inform renters to do so. Rental companies may also use decals to remind renters to remove their own items before returning the car. The law aims to prevent data breaches from personal items accidentally left behind in rental vehicles.
