An Act expanding wheelchair warranty protections for consumers with disabilities
Senate: Committee recommended ought to pass and referred to the committee on Senate Ways and Means
Summary
The bill adds new rules that force authorized wheelchair dealers in Massachusetts to respond to repair requests within one business day, order parts within three days and complete repairs within ten business days. It also stops health insurers and health plans from demanding pre‑authorization for repairs of complex rehabilitation technology wheelchairs unless the original prescription is older than five years. Consumers keep all existing legal remedies and can recover double damages for violations.
