AI Summary

This bill requires retail sellers of motor vehicles to inform potential buyers or lessees about the cost of gap insurance and any other additional coverage *before* discussing the price of the vehicle sale or lease. Gap insurance is a type of coverage that can help pay off a loan or lease if a vehicle is totaled or stolen, and the amount owed is more than the vehicle's actual cash value. This provision aims to enhance consumer protection by ensuring buyers and lessees are fully aware of all potential costs associated with a vehicle purchase or lease upfront.
