Summary

The bill would give the state licensing authority the power to refuse a dealer’s heir or buyer from taking over a franchise if they don’t meet set qualifications, and would limit how many new vehicles a licensee can send to a single dealer or group of related dealers. It also requires the licensee to reimburse dealers for specific costs when a franchise ends. The changes are intended to protect the public interest and promote fair competition among dealers.
