Bill > LB1121

This bill, known as the Recreational Vehicle Industry Regulation Act, establishes a new framework for regulating the relationship between recreational vehicle (RV) dealers and manufacturers, aiming to protect consumers and ensure fair trade practices. It creates specific licensing requirements for RV dealers, manufacturers, and distributors, and outlines detailed rules for manufacturer-dealer agreements, including provisions on areas of sales responsibility and contract modifications. The act also addresses issues such as fair distribution of RVs, manufacturer responsibilities for providing technical data, and procedures for terminating these agreements, requiring good cause and specific notice periods for manufacturers. Furthermore, it sets standards for how manufacturers and distributors must repurchase inventory from dealers upon termination, and establishes rules for warranty service compensation, ensuring dealers are reasonably compensated for warranty work and parts. The bill also modifies existing laws, including expanding the Nebraska Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board to include RV industry representatives and clarifying definitions related to manufacturer warranties and the Uniform Standard Code for Manufactured Homes and Recreational Vehicles.
