The Judiciary Committee met this morning, advancing a few bills.
House Bill 4560 affects 12 sections of the code. The bill provides for additional protections for auto dealers in their transactions with manufacturers. It requires dealer agreements to establish legal requirements. It modifies obligations under warranties. Manufacturers cannot use the relationship with a dealer to find out information on other manufacturers. Performances standards for dealerships must be specific to local market circumstances, geographic characteristics, and traffic patterns. This is so manufacturers cannot impose one size fits all performance standards on dealerships.
House Bill 4578 codifies the authorization of the superintendent of the State Police to oversee the administration and implementation of the State’s Handle with Care Program.
House Bill 4562 clarifies the process of the suspension and dismissal of school personnel by the board and the appeals process.
The Committee is in recess.
In the afternoon meeting, the Judiciary Committee will take up House Bill 4329, House Bill 4553, House Bill 4331, and House Joint Resolution 102.
