MODERATE

The bill was significantly expanded from focusing only on motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle franchisees to covering a broad range of motor vehicle laws. It now repeals and replaces numerous existing statutes related to vehicle registration, privacy protections for law enforcement and judicial personnel, and odometer disclosure requirements.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from exclusively regulating motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle franchising to encompassing general motor vehicle regulations, including privacy protections for specific government personnel and vehicle registration procedures.

SCOPE

The bill was renamed from a motorcycle/all-terrain vehicle franchise protection act to a comprehensive motor vehicle bill covering twenty-one new sections across multiple statutes.

The original specific protections against unfair practices by motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle franchisors were removed as the bill now covers broader motor vehicle regulations.

PRIVACY

New privacy protections were added to prevent the Department of Revenue from releasing home addresses or vehicle information for parole officers, federal pretrial officers, peace officers, judges, and their immediate family members.

REQUIREMENT

Odometer disclosure requirements were updated to apply to vehicles model year 2012 or newer with fewer than 150,000 miles, with specific filing deadlines for ownership certificates.
