Bill > S08393

This bill prohibits motor vehicle manufacturers and dealers from charging a subscription fee for certain functions of a motor vehicle after the vehicle is sold. The bill defines key terms such as "consumer," "dealer," "manufacturer," "motor vehicle," and "subscription service." It also exempts certain services like navigation updates and roadside assistance from the subscription fee prohibition. Any manufacturer, dealer, or agent who fails to comply with these requirements will be assessed a civil penalty not exceeding $250 per point of sale for each violation. The bill aims to prevent vehicle owners from being charged ongoing fees for features they already paid for when purchasing the vehicle.
