# 49 U.S.C. § 32701 - Findings and purposes
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) Findings.— Congress finds that—
|
||
|
||
(1) buyers of motor vehicles rely heavily on the odometer reading as an index of the condition and value of a vehicle;
|
||
|
||
(2) buyers are entitled to rely on the odometer reading as an accurate indication of the mileage of the vehicle;
|
||
|
||
(3) an accurate indication of the mileage assists a buyer in deciding on the safety and reliability of the vehicle; and
|
||
|
||
(4) motor vehicles move in, or affect, interstate and foreign commerce.
|
||
|
||
(b) Purposes.— The purposes of this chapter are—
|
||
|
||
(1) to prohibit tampering with motor vehicle odometers; and
|
||
|
||
(2) to provide safeguards to protect purchasers in the sale of motor vehicles with altered or reset odometers.
