HD 1463 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act further regulating business practices between motor vehicle dealers, manufacturers, and distributors

This bill (HD 1463) directly affects motor vehicle dealers by restricting how manufacturers and distributors can dictate business practices. It prohibits requiring dealers to relocate, make major facility changes, or purchase goods/services from manufacturer-selected vendors without allowing dealer alternatives. The law also restricts sharing of dealer customer data without consent, mandates indemnification for data breaches, and requires advance notice and justification for altering a dealer's geographic sales territory. These provisions aim to prevent unfair pressure on dealers while clarifying manufacturer obligations.
