Rule vetoed despite funds from dealers
Fifty six senators voted to veto a federal rule requiring used car dealers to warn buyers of known defects. The rule faced a Senate vote 69-27, then heads to the House with a May 26 deadline. Donations from the National Automobile Dealers Association totaled 323,350 to lawmakers who backed the veto. The rule would require disclosure of all known defects and warn if a vehicle is not covered by a warranty. Fines could reach 10,000 for noncompliance. An ERA hunger vigil in Illinois Capitol rotunda calls for ratification.
