Bill Summary

Relative to out-of-state purchases at auto auctions. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Massachusetts law regarding auto auctions and out-of-state vehicle purchases by establishing a new $50 fee for individuals buying vehicles with out-of-state titles. The bill requires that this fee be collected by the auctioneer and remitted monthly to the Department of Professional Licensure. Additionally, the legislation maintains existing provisions requiring anyone engaged in buying, selling, exchanging, or assembling second-hand motor vehicles to secure a license, which applies to auction businesses and vehicle leasing companies that sell their used vehicles. The bill also preserves the existing requirement that all second-hand vehicle sales must be reported weekly to the registrar of motor vehicles on prescribed forms. The changes aim to create additional oversight and generate revenue from out-of-state vehicle transactions while maintaining existing regulatory frameworks for used vehicle sales.
