RESOLUTION
REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO CONVENE A WORKING GROUP TO EVALUATE THE REGULATION OF PEER-TO-PEER CAR SHARING AND TO CONSIDER STANDARDS OF PRACTICE FOR THIS INDUSTRY.
WHEREAS, a new mode of transportation has recently developed where private individuals are now sharing their personal vehicles with other individuals via third-party web-based platforms; and
WHEREAS, in the State of Hawaii, there are anywhere up to 150 personal vehicles available to share via third-party web-based platforms ranging from $30 to $550 per day; and
WHEREAS, peer-to-peer car sharing on a fee basis via third-party web-based platforms is currently unregulated and as a result, there are no regulations in place to ensure that vehicle safety standards are met, that vehicles are being rented to qualified individuals, and that the vehicles have adequate insurance coverage; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-ninth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2018, the Senate concurring, that the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs is requested to convene a working group to evaluate the regulation of peer-to-peer car sharing and to consider standards of practice for this emerging industry to ensure the safety of the public; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the working group is requested to research and review safety and maintenance standards, liability and insurance limits, airport and public access, and pricing, fees, and taxes as they pertain to peer-to-peer car sharing; and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED that the Director of Commerce
and Consumer Affairs or the Director's designee is requested to serve as the Chair of the working group and to
invite participation by one representative from each of the following:
(1) The Department of
Transportation;
(2) The Insurance Division
of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs;
(3) The Division of
Consumer Advocacy of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs;
(4) Two motor vehicle rental companies with a presence in the State of Hawaii;
(5) Two licensed
automobile insurers conducting business in the State of Hawaii; and
(6) Two peer-to-peer car sharing companies; and
