What’s in it

Read the full explanation

Under current law, a motor vehicle dealer may charge a documentary fee to a customer for the preparation of documents related to an application for motor vehicle registration and an application for issuance of a certificate of title, and the performance of other related services for the customer, which must not exceed $180 for each motor vehicle sold in a transaction. The bill strikes the requirement that the maximum documentary fee be reduced by $25 after the department of transportation has implemented a program to allow for electronic applications, titling, registering, and funds transfers for vehicles subject to registration. Under the bill, a motor vehicle franchiser must provide a franchisee a list of time allowances for the performance of warranty services, which must be reasonable and adequate for the services to be performed.
