An Act relative to peer to peer car sharing

This bill creates new regulations for companies that facilitate peer-to-peer car sharing (like Turo or Getaround) in Massachusetts. It requires these companies to share vehicle registration details with the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) and MassDOT, provide clear cost estimates to renters, and display a DPU-approved symbol on shared vehicles. The DPU gains authority to enforce safety inspections, issue fines for violations (considering company size and prior compliance), and establish appeal processes. These rules directly affect car-sharing platforms operating in Massachusetts and their users, focusing on transparency, safety, and regulatory oversight.
