AI Summary

This bill aims to protect consumers from hidden car subscription service fees. It prohibits car dealers from charging consumers for subscription services that use components and hardware already installed in the vehicle at the time of purchase or lease, as long as the subscription service can function without ongoing expenses to the dealer, manufacturer, or third-party provider. The bill also imposes fines of up to $10,000 for a first offense and $20,000 for subsequent offenses, and requires the registrar to promulgate regulations to implement the new law within one year.
