An Act relative to motor vehicle service contracts

This bill amends Massachusetts laws to clarify definitions and regulations surrounding motor vehicle service contracts, primarily affecting dealers, manufacturers, and consumers. It introduces specific definitions for terms like "consumer product" and "motor vehicle distributor" while expanding the scope of what counts as a service contract to include coverage for road hazard damage, paintless dent removal, and windshield repair. Additionally, the legislation prohibits manufacturers and distributors from coercing dealers into selling extended service contracts by threatening adverse impacts or including such requirements in franchise agreements. These changes aim to provide clearer rules for how these contracts are defined and sold within the state.
