The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 296, seeks to amend section 14-62 of the general statutes to prohibit motor vehicle dealers from preprinting the order and invoice for vehicle purchases with negotiable fees. Specifically, the bill aims to ensure that any fees related to optional services, such as vehicle identification etching service fees, are not included in the printed documents prior to discussions with prospective buyers.

This legislative change is intended to enhance transparency in the vehicle purchasing process by preventing dealers from presenting fees that have not yet been negotiated with the buyer. By eliminating the practice of preprinting these fees, the bill aims to foster clearer communication and fairer transactions between dealers and consumers.
