Vehicle history reports.

Existing law, with certain exceptions, prohibits a dealer from displaying or offering for sale at retail a used vehicle unless the dealer first obtains a vehicle history report from the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) . Existing law authorizes the NMVTIS data provider to include in the vehicle history report additional history information obtained from resources other than NMVTIS, as specified. This bill would require a vehicle history report, as defined, to clearly and conspicuously disclose contact information of the vehicle history report provider, by which a consumer can submit an inquiry regarding the vehicle history information contained in the report, as specified. The bill would specify a process by which the vehicle history report provider would be required to confirm and respond to inquiries. The bill would declare any attempted waiver of these provisions void as contrary to public policy.
