SB386,,87 (c) Nothing in this section invalidates, limits, or restricts an insurer’s ability, as otherwise allowed under law, to underwrite an insurance policy or to cancel or not renew an insurance policy.

SB386,,88 (5) Required disclosures. Each peer-to-peer motor vehicle sharing program shall include in any agreement made in this state with a shared vehicle owner or shared vehicle driver all of the following disclosures:

SB386,,89 (a) Any right of the peer-to-peer motor vehicle sharing program to seek indemnification from the shared vehicle owner or shared vehicle driver for economic loss sustained by the peer-to-peer motor vehicle sharing program resulting from a breach of the terms and conditions of the motor vehicle sharing agreement.

SB386,,90 (b) That a motor vehicle liability insurance policy issued to a shared vehicle owner for the shared motor vehicle or to the shared vehicle driver does not provide a defense or indemnification for any claim asserted against him or her by the peer-to-peer motor vehicle sharing program.

SB386,,91 (c) That the peer-to-peer motor vehicle sharing program’s insurance coverage on the shared vehicle owner and the shared vehicle driver is in effect only during the motor vehicle sharing duration and that, for any use of the shared motor vehicle by the shared vehicle driver other than during the motor vehicle sharing duration, the shared vehicle driver and the shared vehicle owner might not have insurance coverage.

SB386,,92 (d) The daily rate, fees, and, if applicable, any insurance or protection package costs that are charged to the shared vehicle owner or the shared vehicle driver.

SB386,,96 (6) Notification of implications of lien. At the time a motor vehicle owner registers as a shared vehicle owner through a peer-to-peer motor vehicle sharing program and before the shared vehicle owner makes a motor vehicle available for sharing, the peer-to-peer motor vehicle sharing program shall notify the shared vehicle owner that, if the shared motor vehicle has a lien against it, the use of the shared motor vehicle through the peer-to-peer motor vehicle sharing program, including any use without coverage for physical damage, may violate the terms of any agreement with the lienholder.

SB386,,97 (7) Liability exemption. Any peer-to-peer motor vehicle sharing program and any shared vehicle owner are exempt from liability consistent with 49 USC 30106 and under any state or local law that imposes liability solely based on vehicle ownership.

SB386,,98 (8) Contribution against indemnification. A motor vehicle insurer that defends or indemnifies a claim against a shared motor vehicle that is excluded under the terms of the policy shall have the right to seek recovery against the motor vehicle insurer of the peer-to-peer motor vehicle sharing program if the claim is made against the shared vehicle owner or the shared vehicle driver for loss or injury that occurs during the motor vehicle sharing duration and is excluded under the terms of the policy.

SB386,,99 (9) Record retention. A peer-to-peer motor vehicle sharing program shall collect and verify records pertaining to the use of a shared motor vehicle, including times used, motor vehicle pick up and drop off locations, fees paid by a shared vehicle driver, and revenues received by the shared vehicle owner. To facilitate a claims coverage investigation, settlement, negotiation, or litigation, the peer-to-peer motor vehicle sharing program shall provide, upon request, the records collected under this subsection to the shared vehicle owner, the insurer of the shared vehicle owner, or the insurer of the shared vehicle driver. The peer-to-peer motor vehicle sharing program shall retain the records collected under this subsection for a period not less than the applicable time limit for bringing an action specified under ch. 893.
