What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
