Regards watercraft dealers and warranty service repair work
This bill establishes new rules for how watercraft manufacturers must compensate dealers when performing warranty repairs and recalls. It requires manufacturers to pay dealers for labor and parts at rates that match what the dealers charge their own customers for similar non-warranty work. To determine these rates, dealers must submit recent repair records to the manufacturer, which will then calculate fair compensation based on actual sales data. Additionally, the law prohibits manufacturers from penalizing dealers or retaliating against them for exercising these rights to fair payment.
