An Act relative to out of state purchases at auto auctions

This bill requires auctioneers in Massachusetts to collect a $50 fee from individuals who buy vehicles with out-of-state titles. The collected fees must be remitted monthly to the Department of Professional Licensure. Additionally, the law mandates that all sales of second-hand vehicles or parts by auctioneers be reported weekly to the registrar of motor vehicles. These changes directly affect auto auctions and the buyers of used cars purchased through them.
