Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Deletes language limiting the liability of a renter for damage to a vehicle to $2,000 for a vehicle with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $50,000 or less, and $40,000 for a vehicle with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price greater than $50,000.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 5
Adds reference to:
35 ILCS 155/6 new

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Automobile Renting Occupation and Use Tax Act. Provides that the taxes imposed under the Act do not apply to any amounts paid or received for peer-to-peer car sharing, as defined in the Car-Sharing Program Act, or the privilege of sharing a shared vehicle through a car-sharing program, as defined in the Car-Sharing Program Act, if the shared vehicle owner paid applicable taxes upon the purchase of the automobile. Defines "applicable taxes". Provides that the car-sharing program shall collect and remit any retailers' occupation tax or use tax due with respect to any proceeds from any shared vehicle upon the purchase of which applicable taxes were not paid. Further amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that a person who rents a motor vehicle to another may hold the renter liable for physical or mechanical damage to the rented motor vehicle that occurs during the time the motor vehicle is under the rental agreement. Creates limits on liability due to theft based on the MSRP of the stolen vehicle. Provides that, beginning on the effective date and for 6 months after, a person who rents a motor vehicle to another shall provide notice to the renter of the motor vehicle of the changes reflected in the amendatory Act. Requires the notice to be posted in a conspicuous and unobscured place that is separate and apart from any other information. Effective immediately.
