SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Heavy Equipment Dealer Act. Provides that, under the Heavy Equipment Dealer Act, a supplier's refusal to continue with a dealer an agreement that is expiring in accordance with its terms constitutes a refusal to continue or renew the agreement even if the supplier offers to enter into a replacement agreement with such dealer. The bill removes the exception to the Act's notification requirements for agreement amendments for cases where the supplier uniformly amends agreements as to all dealers of the supplier in question in all states in which the supplier is marketing its products. The bill also prohibits a supplier from prohibiting a dealer from purchasing equipment manufactured by another supplier for purposes of rental or resale to the dealer's customers or from directly or indirectly discriminating or taking adverse action against, or otherwise penalizing, any dealer that purchases equipment or repair parts manufactured by another supplier for purposes of rental or resale to the dealer's customers.
