Bill > SB286

This bill amends Title 21 of the Delaware Code, which governs commerce and trade, by updating and expanding regulations concerning agreements between manufacturers and dealers of new recreational vehicles, vessels, and trailers. Key provisions include the addition of "vessel" to the types of agreements covered, the inclusion of new definitions for terms like "all-terrain vehicle" (ATV), "off-highway vehicle" (OHV), and "side-by-side vehicle" (SSV), and the clarification of dealer obligations for preparation, warranty service, and compensation. The bill also modifies procedures for terminating dealership agreements, enhances requirements for manufacturers to repurchase inventory from terminated dealers, and strengthens protections for family succession of dealerships. Furthermore, it revises warranty reimbursement processes, extending the time for dealers to submit claims and requiring prompt payment from warrantors, while also granting associations of recreational vehicle dealers standing to file legal actions to enforce these provisions.
