Subcommittee endorses peer‑to‑peer car‑sharing bill S.307
Summary
The Labor, Commerce and Industry subcommittee voted unanimously to advance S.307, a peer‑to‑peer car‑sharing bill presented by Representative Gary Brewer, after brief remarks and one committee question.
Representative Gary Brewer of South Carolina presented Senate Bill 307, describing it as a forward‑looking bill to provide regulatory guardrails for peer‑to‑peer car sharing.
"This is peer to peer car sharing. And I'm gonna tell you this is a bill that's, you know, very futuristic for South Carolina," Representative Gary Brewer said, urging members to move the measure forward so constituents using shared‑vehicle platforms would have protections.
A witness identified as "Mister John" remained available for committee questions but offered no extended testimony; he told the committee he was present "for questions." Committee members asked clarifying, mostly procedural questions, including whether the arrangement would work like Airbnb. Brewer replied it was "similar" and described the model as a vehicle owner letting another person use the vehicle for a fee.
A motion for passage was made on the floor and seconded; the committee took a voice/hand vote and advanced the bill unanimously. Committee leadership confirmed the agenda order had been adjusted at the start of the meeting so S.307 would be heard first.
The action advances S.307 to the next committee/meeting stage for further consideration.
