An act relating to cancellation of motor vehicle purchases
This bill creates a Motor Vehicle Purchase Cancellation Study Committee to examine potential changes to Vermont law that would allow buyers to return a vehicle after purchase or cancel a contract before delivery. The committee, including state agency representatives and industry stakeholders, will study the legal rights of purchasers and impacts on dealerships. It must submit a report with recommendations by January 15, 2026, but the bill itself does not change current cancellation policies. The study focuses specifically on return rights after purchase and pre-delivery cancellation.
