Bill Summary

Relative to private sale requirements for used vehicles and requiring that the Registry of Motor Vehicles create and maintain an approved bill of sale form for use by private sellers. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill requires private sellers of used vehicles to use an approved bill of sale form created and maintained by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. The bill of sale form must include key details about the vehicle and the transaction, such as the seller's and buyer's information, the vehicle's make, model, year, and mileage, any known defects, the purchase price, and notarized signatures. The bill exempts private sales of vehicles for less than $700 from this requirement. It also clarifies that this requirement does not limit any existing consumer rights or warranties, nor does it create a new cause of action against private sellers for failure to use the approved form, though a court may consider such failure when awarding damages in a separate action.
