AI Summary

This bill clarifies that Massachusetts residents will not be held responsible for unsolicited credit cards, checks, or vouchers they receive through the mail from commercial banks, mortgage lenders, or other authorized businesses operating in the state. This means if someone receives one of these items and cashes it, the responsibility for any resulting debt or issue will fall on the vendor who sent it, unless the vendor can prove that the person the item was addressed to personally cashed or redeemed it.
