Bill Summary

Relative to background checks for bidders at auto auctions. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to require background checks for individuals who intend to bid on or purchase vehicles at auto auctions. Specifically, it mandates that any person with bidding or signatory power at an auto auction must submit a CORI (Criminal Offender Record Information) check or similar background check from their home state on an annual basis when renewing their auction privileges. The auto auction is then responsible for forwarding any background checks with issues to the state registry for review.
