Vehicle Laws - Manufacturers and Dealers - Prices Listed on Dealer Websites
SB 28 requires vehicle manufacturers, distributors, and factory branches in Maryland to allow dealers to list the full purchase price (excluding taxes, title fees, and disclosed freight charges) for vehicles on their websites. It prohibits manufacturers from stopping dealers from showing this price, forcing dealers to use a different price, or punishing dealers for listing the actual price. The bill specifically allows manufacturers to still require dealers to include freight or processing fees in displayed prices. This directly affects dealers who sell vehicles and manufacturers who supply them, increasing transparency in online vehicle pricing.
