Introduced Text

Massachusetts H5036 mandates disclosure of tariff costs for new vehicles and retail products.

Massachusetts H5036 requires manufacturers to disclose tariff cost estimates on new vehicles sold in the state. This includes affixing a label on the vehicle and posting the estimate on the manufacturer's website. The attorney general, in consultation with the registrar of motor vehicles, will establish regulations for calculating these estimates and label requirements. For retail products, establishments must disclose the tariff portion as a dollar amount or percentage on shelf tags, online product pages, and receipts.
