LD 2104 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Clarify Contractual Rights Of Personal Sports Mobile Dealers

This Maine bill (LD 2104) clarifies contractual rights for dealers selling "personal sports mobiles" (a term used in the bill, likely referring to vehicles like SUVs or sports cars). It requires manufacturers to allocate new vehicles fairly, limits demands for major dealership renovations (requiring 55% cost reimbursement for such changes), and mandates economic analyses for renovations. For warranties, it requires manufacturers to reimburse dealers at retail rates for parts/labor within 30 days, with claims processed within 30 days of submission. These changes directly affect vehicle dealers and manufacturers under Maine's dealership agreements.
