HB 1632 Motor vehicle dealers; imposition of financial penalties, warranty and sales incentive obligations.

Introduced by: John A. Cosgrove-resigned 8/16 | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles | history

SUMMARY AS PASSED:

Dealer franchises; administrative fees and penalties. Extends the protection that dealers currently retain for chargebacks to administrative fees and other penalties. Current law protects dealers who seek to challenge chargebacks for warranty and sales incentive claims from having the disputed amounts taken from open accounts with the manufacturer while the dispute is ongoing. This bill extends this protection to dealers challenging a manufacturer's imposition of administrative fees and other penalties. This bill contains technical amendments and is identical to SB 1051.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Motor vehicle dealers. Prohibits the imposition of financial penalties on motor vehicle dealers for alleged violations of manufacturer policies and agreements without allowing the dealer an opportunity to protest to the DMV Commissioner.
