AI Summary

This bill amends Section 149P of Chapter 175 of the General Laws in Massachusetts by inserting language that requires the term "holder" in service contracts to be printed in bold typeface and a font at least 4 points larger than the remaining text in the contract. This change aims to make the term "holder" more prominent and easily identifiable for the consumer when reviewing the contract.
