2001 House Bill 4043

Introduced in the House

Jan. 25, 2001

Introduced by Rep. Jennifer Faunce (R-29)

To limit the legal exposure of those who lease vehicles to situations in which negligent harm is caused by a licensed driver. Presently, those who lease vehicles may be liable for damages when the renter, or a member of the renter's immediate family, causes negligent damage with the vehicle. Under this proposal, that leasing agent would retain liability only if the operator is a licensed driver.

Referred to the Committee on Commerce
