Prohibits motor vehicle manufacturer or dealer from requiring subscription for certain motor vehicle features.

This New Jersey bill (S 1282) prohibits car dealers and manufacturers from charging consumers recurring fees to activate features already built into new vehicles, such as heated seats or driver assistance systems. It specifically bans subscriptions for features that use pre-installed hardware and would function without ongoing costs after activation. The law applies to dealers/manufacturers offering these features as upgrades at purchase or lease, but excludes third-party services like satellite radio. Violations could result in fines up to $20,000 and legal action by the Attorney General.
