An Act further regulating business practices between motor vehicle dealers, manufacturers, and distributors

This bill amends Massachusetts law to protect motor vehicle dealers from being forced by manufacturers or distributors to change their business locations, remodel their facilities, or share customer data without valid reasons. It prohibits companies from coercing dealers into altering their physical spaces unless required for safety or technology updates, while also ensuring that any facility improvement programs are offered equally to all dealers in the state. Additionally, the legislation restricts the sharing of customer information to specific purposes like vehicle sales and recalls, and mandates that manufacturers must fully cover any legal costs or damages dealers face due to data security breaches. The bill also prevents manufacturers from arbitrarily changing the geographic areas used to measure dealer performance and requires advance notice for such changes.
