HB 5641 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE OFFERING PRICE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE.

HB 5641 requires car dealers to include all additional fees (like taxes, documentation charges, or optional equipment) in the advertised vehicle price shown in advertisements, communications with buyers, and purchase orders. It directly affects car dealers and buyers by mandating full price transparency upfront. The bill prohibits dealers from misleading buyers about the offering price, financing terms, discounts, rebates, or vehicle availability. This aims to prevent hidden fees and ensure consumers see the total cost before purchasing.
