HB 5949 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Transportation: other; peer-to-peer car sharing program; provide for. Creates new act.

This Michigan bill establishes a legal framework for peer-to-peer car sharing, allowing vehicle owners to rent their cars to other individuals through digital platforms while distinguishing these arrangements from traditional car rentals or ride-sharing services. The legislation defines key roles such as shared vehicle owners and drivers, sets specific timeframes for when a vehicle is considered "in use," and outlines the responsibilities of the platforms connecting these parties. It also addresses liability for personal injuries and property damage, clarifying how insurance coverage applies during these sharing periods and providing remedies for disputes.
