Massachusetts H416 regulates motor vehicle debt waivers, ensuring transparency and consumer protection.

Massachusetts H416 amends Chapter 255B of the General Laws to regulate motor vehicle debt waivers. It mandates that creditors and retail sellers offer debt waivers in compliance with the law, ensuring they are separately stated and not considered finance charges or interest. Debt waivers cannot be a condition for extending credit or for the sale or lease of a motor vehicle. Retail sellers must insure their debt waiver obligations, while creditors can insure theirs. The bill also requires creditors to report sales and forward funds due to the designated party.
