BILL NUMBER:S2789 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general business law, in relation to rental car vehicles PURPOSE: To permit rental vehicle companies to itemize charges on the rental agreement for certain costs associated with the licensing, titling, registration, and inspection of vehicles. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill amends subdivisions 1, 8 and 10 of section 396-z of the general business law. Section 1 amends General Business Law §396-z (1) to add the definition of "vehicle licensing recovery fee" as the daily fee a rental vehicle company may charge customers which shall represent an average per-rental portion of the company's estimated annual costs, as imposed by the state, for the licensing, titling, registration and inspection of its vehicles in New York. Should the amount recovered from renters differ from the total amount paid by the vehicle rental company, the rental car company shall adjust its daily fee in the following calendar year by the amount of the difference. The amount of such fees collected and reconciliation with actual amounts paid shall be posted annually on each company's website.
