Summary
The bill bans manufacturers, distributors, and related entities from offering different prices, parts, promotions, or delivery methods to new car dealers, and prevents them from competing directly with those dealers. It also requires manufacturers to disclose how they allocate and schedule vehicles and parts when a dealer asks, and it sets narrow exceptions for temporary ownership, diversity partnerships, and limited dealer ownership. The measure aims to ensure fair treatment of dealers across Washington.
