Bill > H5036

This bill requires manufacturers of new motor vehicles to provide a "tariff cost estimate," which is a good-faith estimate of any price increase due to federal tariffs on the vehicle or its parts, by affixing a label to the vehicle, potentially on the existing "Monroney label" (the window sticker with price information required by federal law) or a supplemental label, and also by posting it on the manufacturer's website, with dealers prohibited from removing this label before sale, and the Attorney General empowered to enforce these provisions with penalties up to $1,000 per vehicle for violations, while also establishing a new chapter requiring retail establishments to disclose the "tariff portion," defined as the dollar amount or percentage of a retail price attributable to tariffs on raw materials, components, or finished goods, on shelf tags, online product pages, and receipts, with exceptions for small businesses and de minimis amounts, and also granting the Attorney General enforcement authority with penalties up to $500 per violation, with both sections designed to be implemented to the maximum extent permitted by federal law.
