Vehicle Laws - Manufacturers and Dealers - Prices Listed on Dealer Websites (Jack Fitzgerald Price Transparency Act)

HB 306, the Jack Fitzgerald Price Transparency Act, protects car dealers from retaliation by manufacturers if they disclose on their websites that a vehicle's advertised price is the manufacturer's minimum allowable price and that the dealer may offer a lower price. The bill requires manufacturers to offer the same rebates, incentives, and financing terms to all dealers of the same vehicle brand, ensuring equal treatment. It also prohibits manufacturers from forcing dealers to alter facilities or agree to exclusive arrangements in exchange for better pricing or financing terms. This law directly affects dealers (who can now transparently advertise lower prices) and manufacturers (who must comply with equal treatment and disclosure protections).
