Revise laws relating to automobile businesses and electric and hybrid vehicles
This bill prohibits automobile manufacturers, distributors, and related entities from requiring dealers to sell electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles. It declares such mandatory sales requirements against public policy and voids any contract provisions that violate this rule. The legislation also expands existing dealer protections by preventing manufacturers from coercing dealers into exclusive arrangements, forced advertising contributions, or specific vendor contracts without dealer choice. These changes aim to give dealers more freedom in how they operate their businesses and what vehicles they choose to sell.
