AN ACT CONCERNING THE DIRECT SALES OF MOTOR VEHICLES.

HB 5645 allows car manufacturers to sell vehicles directly to consumers without needing a dealership agreement in the state. This change directly affects manufacturers (who gain new sales channels), consumers (who may access more purchase options), and car dealers (who lose their exclusive sales role). The key provision amends state law to remove the requirement for manufacturers to partner with local dealerships for vehicle sales. The bill aims to increase market competition in the automotive industry by enabling direct manufacturer-to-consumer sales.
