California GAP Waiver Requirements Effective in 2023
As reported in Carleton's September 2022 Compliance Alert, California Assembly Bill 2311 was enacted by the Governor on September 13, 2022, with an effective date of January 1, 2023. This act created a number of new requirements related to the sale of Guaranteed Asset Protection (“GAP”) Waivers in conjunction with the purchase of a vehicle. Carleton has developed the capability to support the following California GAP requirements in our retail payment API for the following requirements:
- Ensure the charge for a GAP Waiver does not exceed 4% of the California-defined Amount Financed
- Ensure GAP is not allowed when California-defined Amount Financed is less than 70% of MSRP (as determined by a nationally recognized pricing guide)
Effective Date: January 1, 2023
Carleton has maintained regular communication with industry professionals and trade associations to ensure we are assisting our clients implement these necessary updates.
