Auto dealers participation in auto shows authorization and establishing which shows auto dealers may participate

SF 872 amends Minnesota Statutes to establish clear rules for auto dealers' participation in auto shows. The bill specifically authorizes dealers to participate in certain auto shows and defines which events they may attend, removing ambiguity about permitted venues. It adds a new provision to sections 80E.12 and 168.27 of the statutes, directly affecting auto dealers by clarifying their eligibility to showcase vehicles at designated events. This change provides administrative clarity for dealers and event organizers without altering broader dealer-manufacturer relationship rules. The bill does not impose new financial requirements or restrict dealer operations beyond auto show participation.
