Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The Anthony Amoros Law Right to Know Act requires sellers of used vehicles manufactured after September 1, 1997 to either maintain a functional airbag system or clearly disclose in writing if airbags are missing or disabled. The disclosure must appear in at least ten-point bold type on sales documents and as a conspicuous windshield sign. The bill affects all used vehicle sellers including dealerships, auction houses, and private individuals selling cars through any resale channel. Violations are enforced by the Federal Trade Commission as unfair or deceptive trade practices, with state attorneys general also authorized to bring civil actions on behalf of residents. The bill creates criminal penalties ranging up to ten years imprisonment for knowingly selling unsafe vehicles without disclosure, with sentences up to life imprisonment if death results and up to twenty years if serious bodily injury or paralysis occurs, plus courts may award up to $25,000 in additional damages for cases involving death or paralysis.
