Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Motor Vehicle Franchise Act. Provides that if a manufacturer or other franchiser has entered into an agreement with a dealer under which the franchiser is to be reimbursed for parts that the dealer has used in making repairs covered by a warranty, the amount of the reimbursement shall be the difference between the price of the part under the agreement and the prevailing price charged for that part by similar dealers in the area. Provides that the franchiser may not increase the amount of the required reimbursement to reflect additional costs. Provides that, at the request of the dealer, the franchiser shall provide information indicating how the reimbursement amount was calculated. Provides that a dealer may not disclose any confidential information that the dealer obtains regarding any other dealer as a result of the request, unless the disclosure is made in legal proceedings or under order of the Motor Vehicle Review Board or a court of competent jurisdiction. Provides that a franchiser may not take any adverse action against a dealer for failing to enter a reimbursement agreement with the franchiser or for charging the prevailing price for a part. Effective immediately.
