An act relating to new motor vehicle arbitration

This bill proposes to update the mileage threshold used when calculating refunds for zero-emission vehicles under Vermont's Lemon Law. Currently, the reasonable allowance for use is capped at 100,000 miles, but this bill would increase that limit to 150,000 miles to match standards used in California. The change directly affects consumers who purchase zero-emission vehicles that fail to meet warranty requirements and may need to return them to manufacturers. By aligning Vermont's formula with existing regulations, the bill aims to provide a more consistent calculation for compensation in vehicle arbitration cases.
