This bill died with 2011-2012 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Assembly” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law governs contracts between rental car companies and their customers. Those provisions, among other things, require a rental company to disclose specified information to a potential renter, set forth a renter's responsibilities and liabilities, and impose certain requirements on advertising. This bill would require the California Law Revision Commission to study whether the laws regulating vehicle rental companies and their consumers would benefit from greater clarity and concision, and to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature on or before December 31, 2012.
