Relating to persons engaged in the leasing of motor vehicles.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
HB 3163 would revise the definition of a “vehicle lessor” to mean a person who, as the lessor, leases or offers to lease a motor vehicle to another person. Subsequently, a licensed vehicle lease facilitator may sign a vehicle lease agreement as a vehicle lessor before the vehicle lease is assigned, transferred, or conveyed to an ultimate lessor. This would allow a person who does not own a vehicle to be a vehicle lessor.
Vote Recommendation Notes
HB 3163 does not appear to have a connection to our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
