Massachusetts S259 aims to protect consumers from hidden car subscription service fees.

Massachusetts S259 seeks to safeguard consumers from hidden car subscription service fees by prohibiting dealers from offering such services for vehicle features already installed at the time of purchase or lease. The bill defines "motor vehicle feature" and "subscription service" and mandates that the registrar promulgate regulations to implement these provisions. Violations carry fines of up to $10,000 for a first offense and $20,000 for subsequent offenses.
