Relating to: certain motor vehicle entry devices, liability for damages to rental vehicles, and providing a penalty.

This bill updates Wisconsin laws regarding rental car theft liability and criminal penalties for devices used to steal vehicles. It defines "negligent vehicle management" to include leaving a rental car running or failing to have the ignition key during a theft, which can affect whether a renter is held financially responsible for damages. The bill also makes it a felony to sell, possess, or use devices that can electronically program or emulate car keys or intercept key fob signals, and requires authorized users to report lost or stolen devices within 48 hours. Additionally, it creates a legal defense for rental companies if they mistakenly charge a renter for damages while the renter had purchased a damage waiver.
