Summary

The bill changes California insurance law so that a private car used in a personal vehicle‑sharing program is not treated as a commercial vehicle if certain conditions are met. The sharing program must provide proof of insurance, keep usage records, and assume the owner’s liability for injuries or property damage up to the state’s minimum limits. It applies to vehicle owners, sharing platforms, and anyone riding a shared car.
