  356  policy, including any insurance policy in use or approved for
  357  use which excludes coverage for motor vehicles made available
  358  for rent, hire, or for any business use, including peer-to-peer
  359  vehicle sharing.
  360         (5) RECORDKEEPING.—
  361         (a) A peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing program must collect and
  362  verify records pertaining to the use of peer-to-peer vehicles,
  363  including, but not limited to, times used, fees paid by the
  364  peer-to-peer vehicle driver, and revenues received by the peer
  365  to-peer vehicle owner.
  366         (b) Pursuant to all applicable federal and state privacy
  367  obligations, and after receiving the informed consent of the
  368  peer-to-peer vehicle owner and the peer-to-peer vehicle driver,
  369  a peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing program must provide the
  370  information collected pursuant to paragraph (a), upon request,
  371  to the owner, the owner’s insurer, and the driver’s insurer to
  372  facilitate a claim investigation.
  373         (c) The program must retain the records required in this
  374  subsection for not less than 3 years.
  375         (6) CONTRIBUTION AGAINST INDEMNIFICATION.—A motor vehicle
  376  insurer that defends or indemnifies a claim arising from the
  377  operation of a peer-to-peer vehicle that is excluded under the
  378  terms of its policy may seek contribution against the peer-to
  379  peer vehicle-sharing program if the claim is made against the
  380  peer-to-peer vehicle owner or the peer-to-peer vehicle driver
  381  for loss or injury that occurs during the peer-to-peer vehicle
  382  sharing period.
  383         (7) INSURABLE INTEREST.—
  384         (a) A peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing program has an insurable
  385  interest in a vehicle during the sharing period.
  386         (b) This subsection does not impose liability on a peer-to
  387  peer vehicle-sharing program to maintain the coverage mandated
  388  by subsection (2).
  389         (c) A peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing program may own and
  390  maintain as the named insured one or more policies of motor
  391  vehicle liability insurance which provide coverage for:
  392         1. Liabilities assumed by the peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing
  393  program under agreement;
  394         2. Liability of the peer-to-peer vehicle owner;
  395         3. Damage or loss to the vehicle; or
  396         4. Liability of the peer-to-peer vehicle driver.
  397         (8) CONSUMER PROTECTIONS.—
  398         (a) Each peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing program agreement
  399  made in this state must disclose to the peer-to-peer vehicle
  400  owner and the peer-to-peer vehicle driver:
  401         1. Any right of a program to seek indemnification from the
  402  owner or the driver for economic losses the program sustains
  403  which result from a breach of the terms and conditions of the
  404  agreement;
  405         2. That a motor vehicle liability insurance policy issued
  406  to the owner for the peer-to-peer vehicle or to the driver does
  407  not provide defense indemnity for any claim asserted by the
  408  program;
  409         3. That the program’s financial responsibility afforded to
  410  the owner and driver is available only during the peer-to-peer
  411  vehicle-sharing period;
  412         4. That, for any use of the peer-to-peer vehicle by the
  413  driver after the peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing termination time,
  414  the driver and owner may not have coverage;
  415         5. The daily rate, fees, costs, and, if applicable, any
  416  insurance or protection package costs that are charged to the
  417  owner or driver; and
  418         6. That the peer-to-peer vehicle owner’s motor vehicle
  419  liability insurance may not provide coverage for the vehicle.
  420         (b) Each peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing program agreement
  421  made in this state must disclose to the peer-to-peer vehicle
  422  driver:
  423         1. An emergency telephone number to contact personnel
  424  capable of fielding roadside assistance requests and other
  425  customer service inquiries; and
  426         2. Any conditions under which a driver must maintain a
  427  personal motor vehicle insurance policy, and any required
  428  coverage limits, on a primary basis in order to rent the peer
  429  to-peer vehicle.
  430         (9) RESPONSIBILITY FOR EQUIPMENT.—The peer-to-peer vehicle
  431  sharing program has sole responsibility for any equipment that
  432  is put in or on the vehicle, such as a GPS system or other
  433  device, used to monitor or facilitate the sharing, and must
  434  agree to indemnify and hold harmless the owner for any damage to
  435  or theft of such equipment during the sharing period which is
  436  not caused by the owner. The program may seek indemnity from the
  437  driver for any loss or damage to such equipment which occurs
  438  during the sharing period.
  439         (10) AUTOMOBILE SAFETY RECALLS.—
  440         (a) At the time an owner registers a vehicle for use in the
  441  program, and before the owner makes the vehicle available for
  442  use, the peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing program must:
  443         1. Verify that the vehicle does not have any safety recalls
  444  for which repairs have not been made; and
  445         2. Notify the owner of the requirements under paragraph
  446  (c).
  447         (b) The program must periodically, at least once in each
  448  72-hour period, verify that any vehicle available for use
  449  through the program is not subject to an open safety recall for
  450  which repairs have not been made.
  451         (c) If the peer-to-peer vehicle owner has received notice
  452  of a safety recall on the vehicle, he or she may not make the
  453  vehicle available for use through a peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing
  454  program until the safety recall repair has been made. Upon
  455  receiving notice of a safety recall on the vehicle when it is
  456  available for use through the program, the owner shall remove
  457  the vehicle from availability as soon as practicable, but in no
  458  case more than 48 hours after receiving the notice of the safety
  459  recall, and until the safety recall repair has been made. Upon
  460  receiving notice of a safety recall on the vehicle, and in no
  461  case more than 48 hours after such receipt, when such vehicle is
  462  in the possession of the driver, the owner must notify the
  463  program of the safety recall so that the program may notify the
  464  driver and the vehicle can be removed from use until the owner
  465  effects the necessary safety recall repair.
  466         (11) DRIVER LICENSE VERIFICATION AND RETENTION.—
  467         (a) A peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing program may not enter
  468  into a peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing program agreement with a
  469  driver unless the driver who will operate the peer-to-peer
  470  vehicle:
  471         1. Holds an unexpired driver license in this state which
  472  authorizes the driver to operate vehicles of the class of the
  473  peer-to-peer vehicle; or
  474         2. Is a nonresident who:
  475         a. Has an unexpired driver license issued by the state or
  476  country of the driver’s residence which authorizes the driver in
  477  that state or country to drive vehicles of the class of the
  478  peer-to-peer vehicle; and
  479         b. Is at least the same age as that required of a resident
  480  to drive.
  481         (b) A peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing program may not rent a
  482  motor vehicle to another until the driver license of the peer
  483  to-peer vehicle driver has been inspected and the program has
  484  verified that the driver license is unexpired.
  485         (c) A peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing program must keep a
  486  record of:
  487         1. The registration number of the peer-to-peer vehicle;
  488         2. The name and address of the peer-to-peer vehicle driver;
  489         3. The driver license number of the peer-to-peer vehicle
  490  driver and the place where the license was issued; and
  491         4. Each other person, if any, who will operate the peer-to
  492  peer vehicle.
  493         (d) Such record must be open to inspection by any police
  494  officer, or officer or employee of the Department of Law
  495  Enforcement.
  496         (e) If a peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing program rents a peer
  497  to-peer vehicle to a driver through digital, electronic, or
  498  other means that allow the driver to obtain possession of the
  499  vehicle without direct contact with an agent, an employee of the
  500  peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing program, or the vehicle owner, or
  501  if the driver does not execute a peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing
  502  program agreement at the time he or she takes possession of the
  503  vehicle, the peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing program is deemed to
  504  have met all requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) when the
  505  program, at the time the driver enrolls in a membership program,
  506  master agreement, or other means of establishing use of the
  507  program’s services, or any time thereafter, requires the driver
  508  to verify that he or she is duly licensed and that the license
  509  is unexpired.
  510         Section 3. This act shall take effect July 1, 2020.
