H 995 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to motor vehicle service contracts

This bill updates Massachusetts laws regarding motor vehicle service contracts by clarifying definitions and adjusting regulatory requirements. It expands the scope of covered services to include specific repairs for road damage, paintless dent removal, windshield chips, and lost or stolen keys. Additionally, the legislation exempts motor vehicle manufacturers and their service contracts from certain licensing and filing obligations previously required under state law. These changes aim to streamline regulations for manufacturers while maintaining oversight for other types of service agreements.
