Spectrum: Partisan Bill (Democrat 2-0)
Status: Introduced on February 11 2010 - 25% progression, died in committee
Action: 2010-02-11 - To House Roads and Transportation
Pending: House Roads & Transportation Committee

The purpose of this bill is to prohibit the granting of a license for a new motor vehicle dealership, or the relocation of an existing new motor vehicle dealership, within a ten-mile radius of a former dealership whose franchise was revoked by the manufacturer for grounds other than those provided. The bill allows the granting of a license for a dealership within that ten-mile radius if the manufacturer can show proof that the franchise was offered to the original franchisee and the original franchisee refused the offer. §17A-6-18c is new; therefore, it has been completely underscored.
