Bill > H3159

This bill requires individuals in Massachusetts who donate a car to a charity, specifically an organization recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) entity, to notify the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) within seven days of receiving written acknowledgment from the charity. The date the charity acknowledges receipt of the car will be considered the official date of donation. This provision aims to protect donors from future liability for costs associated with the donated vehicle, such as abandonment fees or losses, once they have properly notified the RMV.
