HB 2435 – AMENDS THE MOTOR VEHICLE FRANCHISE ACT HB 2435 defines the term “secondary product” as all products that are not new motor vehicles or OEM parts. It also states that a manufacturer cannot prohibit or require a dealer to offer a secondary product, including but not limited to service contracts; maintenance agreements; extended warranties; protection product guarantees; gap waivers; insurance; replacement parts; vehicle accessories; oil; or supplies. HB 2435 also permits a manufacturer to offer an incentive program to encourage dealers to suggest manufacturer- approved or endorsed secondary products. And this bill prevents manufacturers from dictating those dealers use only manufacture branded products and extended service contracts. If signed into law, it will be effective Jan. 1, 2022.
