An Act regulating the sale and purchase of horses

This bill proposes new regulations for the sale and purchase of horses in Massachusetts to protect consumers from unfair or deceptive trade practices. It requires the Department of Agricultural Resources and the Attorney General to create rules that mandate specific disclosures, including the legal owner and buyer of the horse, any medical conditions or defects, and performance-altering alterations. Additionally, the bill would require a written bill of sale for these transactions to ensure transparency between sellers and buyers.
