What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, the state and local authorities generally have the power to regulate the stopping, standing, and parking of motor vehicles on highways. This bill authorizes the Department of Transportation (DOT), with respect to state trunk highways outside of corporate limits, and local authorities, with respect to highways under their jurisdiction including state trunk highways or connecting highways within corporate limits, to allow the parking of motor vehicles owned by carsharing organizations on a highway in a zone where the time of parking is limited by official signs, markers, or parking meters without regard to the time limits posted. DOT or a local authority may enter into an agreement with a carsharing organization to authorize parking and to establish fees and conditions of operation. This bill defines "carsharing organization" as a business entity that is a rental company that offers a membership service in which members share type 1 automobiles, the use of which may be purchased from the business entity on the basis of trip, trip distance, or trip duration.
