2007 Senate Bill 71

Define watercraft manufacturer and dealer contract terms

Introduced in the Senate

Jan. 24, 2007

Introduced by Sen. Randy Richardville (R-17)

To impose state regulation on the terms of commercial relationships between watercraft manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, 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.
