California Implements New Laws to Simplify and Improve Car Buying Experience

Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have increased car dealer processing fees in California, citing concerns over cost increases for consumers, while signing another law that enhances protections for car buyers, including a three-day return policy and disclosure requirements. The veto disappointed car dealers, who argued the current fee cap is too low, but the new protections were widely praised by consumer advocates.
