2009 Senate Bill 363: Impose RV dealer/manufacturer regulatory regime
Public Act 33 of 2009
Introduced by Sen. Jason Allen (R) on March 11, 2009
To impose state regulation on the terms of commercial relationships between recreational vehicle manufacturers, wholesalers, warrantors, and dealers. The terms of these relationships are currently voluntary and are the product of negotiations and contractual agreements between the parties. The bill would authorize the state to enforce certain exclusive dealer “territories” and other commercial relationships, in a manner similar to regulations which apply under current law to new car dealers and manufacturers.
