"Car Dealerships Face Tighter Advertising Regulations: Louisiana and Massachusetts Take Action In a move to protect consumers from misleading advertising practices, Louisiana and Massachusetts are cracking down on car dealerships. Despite a state code allowing for document fee exclusions, Louisiana has directed dealerships to follow stricter Federal Trade Commission (FTC) advertising rules. Meanwhile, Massachusetts has reminded dealers that it already requires document fees to be included in the advertised price of vehicles.

As a result, car buyers in both states can expect to see more accurate and comprehensive pricing information when shopping for a new vehicle."
