HB 1012 Motor vehicle dealers and manufacturers; addresses certain practices relating to warranty, etc.
Introduced by: Clifford L. Athey, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Motor vehicle dealers and manufacturers. Expands the definition of "franchised motor vehicle dealer" to include used car dealerships operating under the trademark of a manufacturer. The bill also defines the relevant market area applicable to dealers of heavy trucks and limits the certain control that may be exercised over the development and operation of a motor vehicle dealer’s premises due to its franchise relationship with the manufacturer. The bill also addresses certain practices relating to warranty and sales incentive audits to guarantee motor vehicle dealers the right to return parts sent by automated ordering system. It also limits the power of a manufacturer to coerce the waiver of a motor vehicle dealer’s rights under any contract or other law; and clarifies hearing procedures. This bill is almost identical to SB 527 except that SB527 contains an emergency clause.
