relative to permitting motor vehicle manufacturers to operate dealerships in market areas also served by franchise dealers.

Summary

The bill removes a state law that stops vehicle makers and distributors from competing directly with their own franchised dealers. It would let manufacturers set up dealerships in the same market areas as existing franchise dealers, potentially increasing competition and consumer choice. The measure failed to advance and was declared inexpedient to legislate.
