Transportation

Relating to statutory fees for traffic offenses and a motor vehicle owner's responsibility regarding a driver who flees a peace officer; and to provide a penalty.

HB 1515 requires motor vehicle manufacturers and distributors in North Dakota to compensate dealers fairly for warranty work, including diagnostic services, repairs, parts, and labor. It mandates that compensation rates for labor and parts must not be less than the dealer's standard retail rates for similar non-warranty services to customers. Dealers must submit reimbursement claims within 180 days of service completion, and manufacturers must process claims within 30 days of approval, with clear written reasons for denials. This law directly affects dealers performing warranty repairs and manufacturers responsible for paying them, ensuring transparent and timely compensation under defined rate calculations.
