Existing
law authorizes a dealer to charge the purchaser or lessee of a vehicle
a document processing charge for the preparation and processing of
documents, disclosures, and titling, registration, and information
security obligations imposed by state and federal law. Existing law
authorizes a dealer that has a contractual agreement with the
Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to be a private industry partner to
set the document processing charge at up to $85, and authorizes all
other dealers to set the document processing charge at up to $70.
This
bill would authorize a dealer to charge a document processing charge
that exceeds those amounts if the charge does not exceed 1% of the
total price of the vehicle and does not exceed $500.
The bill would exempt the sale of vehicles to the State of California from these provisions.
