AB 1650: Rental vehicles: law enforcement.
What AB 1650 does, verified August 19, 2026
<p>The proposed act aims to regulate privately owned vehicles rented or furnished to federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies for detaining, arresting, or transporting individuals suspected of violating laws. It mandates that such rental vehicles display a temporary decal with the agency's name and logo. The bill authorizes certain attorneys, including the Attorney General, to file civil actions against entities renting these vehicles if they fail to comply. Additionally, rental car contracts must include a mandatory term for compliance with these provisions, though contracts entered before January 1, 2027, are exempt.</p>
