Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, Importers, and Distributors and Franchised Motor Vehicle Dealers

Summary

The measure allows vehicle manufacturers, importers or distributors to refuse a dealer's heir or successor if the person fails set qualifications, could harm the public, or would cause the distributor to violate new rules. It also obliges large distributors that sell 1,000 or more vehicles of a make in a year to work with at least three independent dealers and clarifies what the distributor must repurchase when a franchise ends. The bill died in committee, while a companion Senate bill passed.
