AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 21 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO DEALER PROCESSING FEES.
Currently Delaware has no cap on dealer processing fees which permits motor vehicle dealers to arbitrarily charge whatever amounts they wish leading to great discrepancy of these fees among dealers and a lack of protection for consumers. Currently Pennsylvania has a $449 statutory cap on dealer processing fees and Maryland has a $500 statutory cap. This Act defines “dealer processing fee”, sets a statutory cap of $475 on the dealer processing fee, and requires the dealer to disclose in the bill of sale, in 10-point type or larger, the amount of the fee and what is covered in the fee. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
