This bill strengthens protections for Massachusetts car buyers and lessees. It extends used-car warranty coverage to higher-mileage vehicles and increases the bond amount required of auto dealers, making more funds available to compensate harmed consumers. The bill also empowers the attorney general to file claims for groups affected by dealer misconduct, improves notice and timeframes for curing missed payments on leases, and sets clearer, fairer rules for vehicle repossessions. These updates are intended to give consumers more rights and remedies when facing issues in car sales, financing, or leasing.
