Maine - Manufacturer Dealer Relationship
2017 ME S.B. 509, Date introduced: APRIL 14, 2017, Last action: MAY 30, 2017; work session held. Makes it an unfair and deceptive practice for a motor vehicle manufacturer to use unreasonable performance standards in assessing motor vehicle dealer compliance with franchise agreements, to require a dealer to refrain from selling a new or used motor vehicle when there is no remedy to a recall without the manufacturer's providing compensation or to prohibit a dealer from providing to a consumer information of a defective condition in a motor vehicle when the vehicle is being repaired under a manufacturer's warranty. It clarifies the standard of review in succession planning and in the analysis by a manufacturer of a dealer's sales and incentive performance.
