Bill Summary

For legislation relative to motor vehicle warranties. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill amends Massachusetts' General Laws to prohibit insurers from mandating the use of non-original equipment manufacturer (non-OEM) parts on any vehicle still under the manufacturer's warranty or lease agreement, if those parts would compromise the vehicle's operational safety or structural integrity. The bill aims to protect consumers by ensuring that vehicles under warranty or lease are repaired with parts that maintain the vehicle's safety and integrity, rather than potentially inferior non-OEM parts.
